According to the NTSB report the radar in question did not record altitude data. There was one military radar in the area with modified software that could estimate altitude with a margin of error of thousands of feet. Therefore this article is a lot of hogwash as are all the other conspiracy articles about TWA 800.

I remember seeing a thread on FR many years ago where somebody posted evidence that supported the possibility that TWA 800 could have been shot down by a land based AA missile (not shoulder fired but vehicle portable) - and that it was a terrorist attack, not a naval misfire.

If I get a chance I will do a keyword search on TWA800. No time this week though.

Seems like I remember from the initial discussions here that there was a military training exercise going on in the New England area and could it be related.

We are supposed to believe our government. They would never lead us astray.

How much for the bridge?

Trump has to bring this up if he is serious about becoming POTUS.

A year later, the FBI closed its case. Thanks to the “expertise” of the CIA, the FBI’s Jim Kallstrom was able to assure America that the 258 eyewitnesses to a missile strike could not tell up from down and that the “vertical movement” Mark Johnson saw “intersecting TWA 800” was nothing more than “a ghost of Jet Express 18 which was at a different location.”

Back then I was a pretty regular caller to Rush Limbaugh's show. When I got through, they almost always put me on. But there was a time when I had direct evidence that Kallstrom has LIED about something related to TWA800 which Rush repeated on his show, and so I called to talk about it.

They weren't interested. Rush, on his show, made it seem that he and Kallstrom were friends, and he trusted Kallstrom. Maybe, but I wonder if it was one of those third rail topics he was told to steer away from.

I was watching the news the day this happened.

There was a video that someone was taking, at what looked like an outdoor bar, talking to someone at a drink table.

Over his shoulder you could clearly see a white line shoot up into the sky followed by an explosion at the top. It was a missile shoot-down. No one can tell me otherwise.

I worked midnight shift at the time so i was asleep until the next news cycle. By then they had hidden that video and the story changed to an explosion in the plane. I was very confused for days asking people if they had seen the missile hitting it video that I saw.

The story that a fuel tank spark set it off is bogus. Take a container of kerosene (otherwise known as jet fuel) and drop a match into it. Nothing will happen.

My suspicion of a cover up came into play early on ... James Kallstrom the lead FBI official investigating TWA Flt. 800 initially was investigating the missile theory. Less than three days into the investigation he was summoned to Washington. When he returned the investigation shifted immediately to the exploding empty fuel tank theory which is now the reason cited for the explosion that destroyed the aircraft. This was a cover up no question ...

Snuffleupagus referred to the TWA 800 bombing back in 2001.

Stephanopoulos, implying that this was unnecessary, made this surprising statement: “There are facilities in the White House, not the normal situation room, which everyone has seen in the past, has seen pictures of. There is a second situation room, behind the primary situation room, which has video conferencing capabilities. The director of the Pentagon, the defense chief, can speak from a national military command center at the Pentagon. The Secretary of State can speak from the State Department, the president from wherever he is, and they’ll have this capability for video conferencing throughout this crisis. In my time at the White House it was used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, in the aftermath of the TWA Flight 800 bombing, and that would be the way they would stay in contact through the afternoon."

The method the Uniparty used to cover this Islamic terrorist attack was to explain that something was leaving the plane. Obviously after the explosion. So people mistook travelling away from the plane as motion travelling towards the plane. Neat magic trick there. And for their next trick they will pull a lone wolf out of a gay club.

An interesting oldie, five years old. I found it looking for ever-present Asst Atty Gen Jamie Gorelick’s involvement. Scroll down a bit for that.

He requested that I use an alias because he has children who depend on him. The federal government, he believes, “will seek revenge, retribution and/or any other remedy they feel like. I would be fearful my pension would be at risk.” I have heard this sentiment voiced by many people involved in this incident.

Hey guys at the Washington Post.... this MIGHT have something to do with why Americans don't trust the press... THIS ISN'T a story dem handlers put in a packet for the boys at the Washington Post - this is a story earned the old fashioned way... by work. By someone striving to get the truth... NOT like Bob Woodward's army of DNC stenographers...
