I remember something similar to that. Not that it was a bombing, but that TWA 800 was "mistakenly" listed in a series of terrorist acts that occurred in the 1990s.

I've got my own idea about this -- As I was watching the news coverage on the night of 9/11, it suddenly dawned on me that Flight 800 was shot down by the U.S. Navy in response to to a very credible threat that it had been hijacked and would be flown into the World Trade Center.

The problems I have with this is the fact that the aircraft had taken off only 15 minutes or so before and that would have been much to short of time for the hijacking to be discovered, communicated to the authorities, a course of action determined, and then carried out. Another problem is that it is more likely that a fighter would have been dispatched to intercept rather than shooting a missile into the crowded air traffic. Add to that the fact that had a Navy ship been used to down the aircraft then someone on the crew would have talked by now and the launch would have been seen from shore. A missile shoot can't be covered up. Finally, looking at the eyewitness accounts in the article you have missiles coming from different directions and in different shapes and sizes and colors. A lot of it still makes no sense.

You don't call upon the Navy to shoot down hijacked airplanes.

That's very interesting. Have you ever heard anything about that, any speculation that this might be the case? I haven't, but it is a theory that would fit the facts as we know them.

Sooner or later, someone had to figure it out. You oughta geta prize!
