OK. So....when are they going to come out and say that TWA800 was definitely shot down like we all know it was. 13,500 feet is in range.

I believe STEPHANOPOULOS has made those statements. TWA800 was shot down by friendly fire. The CLINTON Whitehouse knew about it when it happened because the President's staff was watching the Navy operations on closed circuit TV.

Only for a Stinger, in perfect condition (read: not after sitting around with zero maintenance for seven years prior to being fired), and even then it's borderline. It wouldn't be a "streak" by the time it reached Flight 800, either; the sustainer motor would have long since burned out.

My personal favorite that explains the center-of-mass hit on a 747: the RBS-70. It's made in Sweden, exported everywhere. It's laser-guided, and it's team-portable, meaning it's big enough to reliably reach 13,500 (the motor is still going, as well).
