No, no, no - it was stirring the fuel tanks.
It happens all the time.
I know, because the government told me so.
To: Mr. Jeeves
the “few Navy personnel” would supposedly include the 300 man crew of a Burke class DDG or 400 man crew of a Ticonderoga class CG. When a anti aircraft missile is
fired from these ships, everyone on that ship knows what just happened.
To: Joe Boucher
I just can’t see every sailor remaining silent if that happened.

In America, the media have to collaborate in that suppression, and this they did, closing their eyes to the obvious and accepting without evidence the governments unproven theory of a spontaneous fuel tank explosion. Son of Mockingbird is alive and well apparently.

Climbing against a night sky, with all engines operating above cruise power, the 747 would have presented a very good IR target. Then you would have expected the missile to target one of the engines and not the fuselage.
To: bootless
I think Jack had mentioned a Cherokee 6 or an Arrow - some six-seater single-engine (probably turbod) plane that could reach that 16,000-25,000 altitude. Packed with explosives to T-bone the 747. Then wreckage of the Cherokee 6 or Arrow would have been found at the crash site. It wasn't.

The Russians wee driven out of Afghanistan by Osama's minions using stingers, shoulder fired missiles, knocking soviet military aircraft out of the air. At much lower altitudes than TWA 800.
To: Soul of the South
The crew of the Navy warship that allegedly buried Osama bin Laden at sea seems to be quite tight lipped. Not one cell phone snapshot or video has appeared. No one from the ship has given a statement regarding the burial. Assuming that it really did happen, crew of the ship didn't bury him. A small number of people did.
To: Orbiter
Ill repeat the gist of a comment I posted on FR years ago: there is no way in hell that aircraft departed for a transatlantic flight with an empty center fuel tank. Sure they would. The distance between New York and Paris is about 3600 miles. A 747-100 fully fueled can fly 6100 miles. The airplane would carry enough fuel to make the trip with a safety margin but it's not going to haul fuel it doesn't need.

Questions? One. How does a submerged submarine know what it's shooting at?
To: PraiseTheLord
I recall something, that seems to have ?disappeared someone was trying to give out information saying he was on a US submarine I think secret, or its technology was, that BY MISTAKE fired missle/s from under the water near by. Like unknown that such tech was able to do that. Weapons don't get fired by mistake, especially from submarines.
To: Joe Boucher
I had heard that the U.S. Navy had been in the area with subs that were preforming war games and shot it down by accident. How do you shoot a commercial airplane down by accident?
To: Kaslin
Haven't read thru all the responses, someone may have already mentioned this ... James Kallstrom the lead FBI agent in the investigation of TWA flight 800 initially had his team investigating the criminal or terrorist angle. Within a few days he was summoned to Washington, when he returned the direction of the investigation changed to the empty fuel tank explosion theory. All other evidence was ignored from that point forward. Did Kallstrom get his marching orders while in DC? One might think so ...

My uncle was lead mechanic for TWA (off that night) and says the center fuel tank was NOT the problem. He feels the truth will come out eventually. He says the navy divers know the score.

Agree,
But to the tin-foil hat crowd, the absence of proof proves how good the conspiracy cover-up is.

Because the missile plume would have burned out long before it reaches 5,000 feet and the missile is non-reflective and about 4’ long, and with no plume and no reflection and small, no way it could have been seen miles away,

I have one question.
Why are you hiding in anonymity if you know this for a fact?

Missile plume burns out before 5.000 feet.
No vapor trails or plume.
Contrails from the jet, if anything.
I’ve been shot at by MANPAD over southern Iraq. I know what it looks like and how hard it is to see when you are in the jet being shot at, let alone being miles and miles away trying to see 4’ long non-reflective plumeless missile.

Air defense artillery has come a long way since the stinger missile. There are plenty of arrows that could have reached that flight.
