Intercept range or launch range?
I have no idea. I got that info from a chart comparing MANPADs on Wikipedia. The row was labeled “Maximum range”.
I gave up that particular missile as the culprit, since another poster pointed out that the altitude capability was different than “range”. Stingers were meant to hit targets at less than 10,000 feet altitude, and from what I’ve researched tonight, TWA Flight 800 was at a little over 13,000 feet when it exploded.
I still tend to believe more than 100 witnesses to the event as opposed to Clinton lackeys.
Also, like I said earlier, the incident follows a pattern from a book that Muslim terrorists seem to have been using as a playbook: “The Turner Diaries”.
I would have never known about that book, which is basically a white supremacist screed, if the mainstream media had not mentioned it as inspiration for Timothy McVeigh’s Oklahoma City truck bomb attack. That bombing echoed the first WTC attack by Muslims, which follows an attack in the book almost to the letter.
The last attack in the book, by the way, is a suicide plane crash into the Pentagon. Familiar, huh?
