TWA Flight 800 investigators break silence in new documentary, claim original conclusion about cause

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago.

However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down.

Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded and crashed off the coast of nearby East Moriches, Long Island, killing everyone on the plane.

“..This team of investigators who actually handled the wreckage and victims’ bodies, prove that the officially proposed fuel-air explosion did not cause the crash,” reads a statement by the producers of the film, which will debut on cable network EPIX next month. “They also provide radar and forensic evidence proving that one or more ordinance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash.” However, the statement said they did not speculate about the source or sources of any ordinance explosions.

Don’t tell me this is just another diversionary tactic from the WH?

Go yell squirrel, fire in the theater, gold in the hills and etc.

obama is up to something else, something really big this time.

Of course this goes both ways, revelations will appear about Obama as well, for many years.

[OwenKellogg]

Diversionary tactic? Could be.

Who is this group of whistleblowers? Where have they been for the last 17 years? Why now?

Common thread to today’s scandals: a lame video.

Lots of questions.

IF you believe ANYTHING that comes out of the FBI then you be a fool.

IIRC, the debris field also indicated a missile.

In what way?

[FreedomPoster]

Off-axis debris.

Your going to have to be more specific. I’m not conversant in all the technical jargon.

We have recently seen the response to the possibility that batteries on the Boeing 787 could catch fire. We are supposed to accept that explosion of Flight 800's center tank, resulting in loss of the ship and all aboard, was a fairly minor incident, never required 100% grounding of 747's, and only relatively minor (dare I say "token"?) modifications to prevent future incidents.

That FBI guy, Jim ?, had to RETIRE IMMEDIATELY after he said it WASN”T a missile.....he KNOWS it was a missile, but he LIED!!

[Ann Archy]

OMG!! How STUPID!! However, it was NOT TWA’s fault...it was a MISSILE!!

The aircraft is flying in direction X, the axis. Most debris is found in a path along direction X. Some debris is found along direction Y, say at X + 60 degrees, as if a missile had struck to create the off-axis debris.

With a quick look I can’t find any backup, but remember seeing this along with a chart back at the time.

OK this is all new to me and very interesting so please forgive the questions. So if an airplane is hit at point X then I assume that would be where the off-axis debris is generated? But the plane broke up at point Y and hit the water at point Z, both of which could be miles away from the point of impact considering the speed the plane is traveling at. So wouldn't that make if difficult if not impossible to locate the off-axis debris?

Look anyone who watched the coverage of this as it happened knows it was hit by a missile. I have never had any doubt.

The story about the suddenly exploding gas tank was totally unbelievable. It was presents as just something that sometimes happens. Glad the truth is finally resurfacing.

[Triple]

Ohhhh Jimmy.

Jimmy, you still around calling people seeking the truth ‘conspiracy theorists?’

[Uncle Chip]

Just saw a report on this on ABC this morning.

It sure does vindicate Jack Cashill and indict a whole lot of FBI/FAA/*** agents involved in the cover up.

And of course the media acting like this is the first they heard about the shenanigans in the investigation.

[RoosterRedux]

Not to nitpick but the crash in Far Rockaway in Nov 2001 had just taken off from JFK.

[driftdiver]

Yep, thanks. You’re the fourth person to tell me that.

[RoosterRedux]

lol...I realized that after I looked at the responses. Sorry.

[Red Badger]

It was obviously an anti-muslim video that caused the crash...........or some rogue IRS agents in Cincinnati........or a disgruntled NSA employee..........
