The other 95% would be more effective as agents for the Islamofascists/Kazis!

From their actions in ignoring the obvious in TWA flight 800, and the middle eastern connection to the OK city bombing I think they are quite effective agents for the Islamofacists already.

"From their actions in ignoring the obvious in TWA flight 800 . . "

Most assumed that initially too, including James Kallstrom, because of the initial reports of a fiery streak followed immediately by a huge fireball. However, Kallstrom, having convinced himself at the outset that TWA 800 was the victim of a missile shootdown, sat on a report for months that a U.S. satellite detected that Massive Fireball explosion about a mile above the surface, NOT at 13,800 feet where the Initial Event took place at 8:31:12. In short, the fiery events observed by the witnesses took place much later and much lower in the sky than initially assumed.

The timeline and altitudes of the major events of the TWA 800 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.

Svp pardon mon Français. Cliquetez ici.

Additionally, TEN expert metallurgists who examined the TWA 800 wreckage reported finding no evidence that the 747 was the victim of a missile - or bomb - attack. One of them was the FBI's own Chief Forensic Metallurgist, William Tobin, but Kallstrom refused to believe him, having had his own neck bowed from the outset that the 747 was the victim of a missile shootdown.

Memorandum
To: Thomas H. Jourdan
From: William A. Tobin
Date: 07-15-97
Subject: Metallurgical Status Report: TWA 800

The last FBI metallurgical examinations or evaluations conducted of any significance, relating to damaged TWA 800 components, were in approximately October 1996.

As directed by you, on January 1, 1997, I elicited a commitment for the services of a retired research scientist and metallographic laboratory specializing in the aluminum alloys primarily comprising the Boeing 747-100.

Since May 1997, the scientist has been researching the location, morphology, and formation fracture mechanics of small holes with "spike tooth" fractures, the only metallurgically significant indicator present at a high strain rate. However, the holes are relatively small (none of which could reasonably have been responsible for "instantaneous" cessation of the recorders), exhibit no apparent preferred concentration, exhibit no apparent isotrophy, and are in matrices which exhibit no characteristics of impulsive loading or proximity to explosive (ordnance) materials.

The scientist has observed no indication of bomb or missile damage, and brings to ten the number of metallurgists officially examining and pronouncing the absence of bomb or missile damage, four from NTSB, three from Boeing, two from FBI Laboratory, and one scientist consultant.

It is noted that three of the aforementioned metallurgists could be considered to have a strong organizational interest in the finding that something other than mechanical failure initiated the catastrophic sequence of events.
