So your belief that it’s a conspiracy relieves you from knowing the facts.
Good bye.
No you *&%$, I know someone who has first hand and very precise knowledge of what happened. He told me what happened.
I don't have to hunt around for theories because I have facts at my disposal that you don't have. Unfortunately I cannot even hint at what those facts are because the person who related them to me fears retaliation if this information becomes known to the general public.
The plane was hit by a surface to air missile fired from a boat by supposedly rogue Iranians. That much I can say because there is no way to trace that information back to anywhere. People can assert that claim comes from the tin-foil-hat conspiracy kooks, and no real rebuttal is necessary.
All of the NTSB stuff is just security drama for public consumption because the truth would instill outrage and would have instilled panic back in 1996.
Oh, and Bill Clinton would have lost the election.
If you believe there was an 80 joule ignition source in the fuel tanks, you are simply swallowing a line of crap that is unsupportable by facts.
