Out of curiousity, let's see how high TWA800 was at 20:31:43 when we take the velocity at the time to be terminal..

d(20:31:43, TE 20:31:49) = 220 feet/sec * 6 sec = 1320 feet
d(20:31:43, TE 20:31:54) = 220 feet/sec * 11 sec = 2420 feet.

Hmm, that still isn't close to Asmodeus's claim of the TWA 800 exploding into a fireball at 5500-7500 feet four seconds later..

And again, TWA 800 would have been heading DOWN at that time, not up.

None of the "shootdown" tinfoil hats wants to provide the readers with a timeline. Neither does John Fiorentino, the "bomb" tinfoil hat. All of the tinfoil hats have the same reason - they don't want to be pinned down to a complete timeline because it takes away most of their wiggle room.

The timeline and location of the major events of the disaster was approximately as follows:

8:31:11 Intact and climbing 747 approaches 13,800 feet.

8:31:12 Initiating Event at 13,800 feet followed immediately by the commencement of the decapitation process.

8:31:43-8:31:47 Streak of light appears.

8:31:47 Explosion of Massive Fireball at 5500-7500 feet.

8:31:55-8:31:57 Splashdown of the Massive Fireball flames.

Note that the last word is "flames", not TWA 800, not the fuselage, not any part of the wreckage.

The Massive Fireball flames did not descend to the surface at "terminal velocity".

Neither did the source of the Massive Fireball flames, the thousands of gallons of jet fuel that gushed out of the left wing tanks when it separated from the fuselage, descend at "terminal velocity" prior to being ignited and thereby becoming the Massive Fireball.

1. When and at what approximate altitude did those thousands of gallons of jet fuel gush into the sky?

2. At what approximate altitude was that huge cloud of jet fuel ignited, thereby becoming the Massive Fireball?

3. Wasn't that jet fuel/Massive Fireball flames at all times descending?

4. What was the approximate falltime of the Massive Fireball flames to the surface?
