I think TWA 800 was not shotdown. I pretty much accept the NTSB findings.

If TWA 800 was not shot down then why does the government prosecute someone who comes up with evidence that it may have been? If the guy is coming up with tinfoil then why not disprove his evidence instead of threatening him and prosecuting him under a very specious law that was not meant to be used on reporters or authors?

I reject most all conspiracy theories, this one included. But hey, I am open minded, just extremely sceptical.

I have followed this case for a long time and read a lot on it. I do believe it was shot down. Another Clinton Cover up. “Don’t want to rattle the public and ruin my approval rating do we?”

If the FBI is right then the case can be closed and the files released.

As of right now the case in considered “Active” meaning all the info the FBI and NTSB has gathered is classified.

The government can’t have it both ways. (Well I guess they can because this is what they are doing right now and will be doing for the rest of my life.) If it was a fuel tank explosion, then it is not a criminal investigation and they can release all the evidence collected in the investigation. If not, then the Government should say that they don’t know for sure what happened and still suspects foul play.

I have no problem believing that a few jihads sat in a boat with a Russian missile and let one go.

A lucky hit in an empty fuel tank and boom.

I had a dental patient a few years ago who was/is a 747 driver of 30+ yrs. experience- he believed, and many of his associates, that it was a missile strike-

How’s that NTSB/CIA/BJ-DOJ Kool-aid go down...is it better from a tin (foil) cup?

[Blueflag]

1st point: I don’t know what happened.

2nd point: as a former firefighter, I can attest that the likelihood of the fuel:air stoichiometry being an explosive mixture in an enclosed vessel (center fuel tank) is hard to believe. Fuel tanks only explode in the movies, or rupture as a result of a BLEVE ... and then the fuel vapor explodes.

I have no opinion about the missile strike. I only ‘know’ from experience with a lot of Class B vehicle fires that an intact fuel tank is really quite non-explosive.

I never believed the missle theory but have been suspicious from day one of an incendiary device with a delay mechanism inserted into the center fuel tank by someone on the ground.
