I’m far from a CT’er....but I always thought that....they have belly landed 747’s, and there were plenty of credible witnesses.
I followed it pretty closely at the time. I remember even the preliminary news reports and interviews. There is no doubt in my mind that it was shot down. The only question is, who did it.
I’m a conspiracy theorist on 2.5 events. The .5 is the JFK assasination. The other 2 are Flight 800 and Sandy Hook.
