In the aftermath of the Olympic bombing of 1996 and the downing of TWA Flight 800 that spring, the Clinton administration was alive with a flurry of proposals to increase airport safety. In polling in July of 1996, we examined four specific proposals to heighten air safety

The *downing* of Flight 800? Am I missing something here? I thought the official word was that this was an accident? How would increased security measures obstruct an accident from happening?

Hi, Mrs. K- regarding this:

The *downing* of Flight 800? Am I missing something here?

It's suspicious, isn't it? Here's what I have on this:

TWA 800- who speaks for the dead?

Stephanopolis has even used the phrase "bombing of TWA Flight 800" and no one has called him on it... Why was the Clinton war room up and running that night? Too many questions...

Morris locked on this because Georgie Steph's statement he made about the shoot down on flight 800. Georgie slipped after he left the clinton admin and Morris has been using this as his proof that it was a shootdown. He's explained this in detail on Hannity's radio show !

I think flight 800 was Lockerbie, Scotland, (Lybian Terrorist Bombers) adn flight 103 was the 'accident' over Long Island Sound.

I thought the official word was that this was an accident?

That is the official word. But there are still investigations going on. George Stefanopoulos slipped on ABC News are called it the "first terrorist attack". I didn't believe it was an accident then, and I don't believe it now.

The downing of TWA 800 caused my husband and me to cancel our flight reservations and jump into our car for a cross country trip to CA a couple of days later. Now 8 years later we've motored to both the east and west coasts at least a dozen times. We've taken only 3 flights in that time -- one to use up the tickets we canceled in July 1996, one other quick trip to the West Coast, and one trip to Ireland, September 7-15, 2001. We far prefer driving and shall continue to travel by that mode as long as we are able.

AT THE TIME no conclusion had yet been reached about flight 800.
