TWA Flt 800

[brokedash]

It's time the real truth was discovered.

 

[Oh-ryan]

There is absolutely no way our government pulled this off and kept it quiet either then or now. No way. My favorite theory is that a missile from a US Navy destroyer shot it down. Really? A boat filled with 300 kids shot that thing down and not one... not one of those 17-25 year old sailors said a word about it. Give me a break. That news would have hit the pier before the first line was cast ashore.

No way any patriot working for the CIA, FBI, NSA, or other spy agency would pull the trigger on that mission. A mission such as this would need several people "in the know" and I don't believe for a second that there are half a dozen sworn agents that would do such a thing against their country and innocent citizens. No way they were tricked into doing it by some political appointee either cause if that were to happen to me try stopping me from speaking to every news outlet in the country to tell the real story.

No way the government paid some 3rd world operative to do it either cause: 1) Employees in one of the above agencies would have had to work that deal and; 2) that 3rd world dirtbag would have gone public with it in order to get his martyr lifetime membership card.

Crap happens. May they all rest in peace.

Well said. Too many idiots out there with no logical thinking. A sad world we live in.

I've never heard it was on purpose by our own-

I've heard terrorism

And mostly I've heard accident from our own with a small contained crew-

In any case the fuel tank theory was never credible-

And MY head's been examined

It took decades to find out the Maddox and Turner Joy weren't really
attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin which saddled us with an unpopular war.

I don't know what happened but it appears a new investigation is warranted.

If you don't think a bunch of young military kids can keep a secret then you've never heard of tonopah, the skunk works, white sands etc. if they were debriefed and told the operation was classified and fear was put into them, they're not talking.

We're talking about killing hundreds of American civilians here- not designing the SR-71 or F-117. No American serviceman would knowingly (or not) take part in this and not go public with it. Perhaps I am naive in thinking that.

Time to double up the foil on your aluminum hat and stock up on more spam.

There was a time I had gone along with that line of thought. Perhaps I've just flown with too many TWA pilots who got me to consider otherwise...when hundreds of sane witnesses swear with certainty they watched a light rise up to the plane - and not one single testimony is allowed into the investigation. Their voices weren't heard, why would those of military personnel be?

The only people who could go public would have to have evidence. Terrell Stacy, a TWA pilot and investigator tried to, along with Jim Sanders, provided evidence and were made out to look like the idiots with tin foil. Any servicemen who could know something are incredibly smart for keeping their mouths shut.

 

[trip]

Your average serviceman was likely not involved here.
The Gulf War 1 helo pilots who seen the missile trail = credible.
Intelligence organization recreated computer demonstration = not credible.

 

[FR8mastr]

You guys are crazy, the government would never lie to the American people or try to cover anything up!

Just look at history, that's never happened... oh wait

 

[wms]

First of all, if it happened it was probably an accident.

Second, don't think the darker side of government wouldn't destroy a plane load of citizens to get at an enemy of the state if it was a big enough deal.

 

[BuckMurdock1]

It was George w. Bush's fault...somehow. (Even though he wasn't elected until 3 yrs later)

 

[Pattern-Master]

Wasn't flt 800 in trail of an El Al flight. Probably a rocket launcher from a small boat and hit TWA by mistake,just another far fetched possibility.

The question really is how do you best hide something this public?

Right out in the open has always been the most effective. Every theory brought forward will be immediately ridiculed or squashed publicly except the dubious cover story about a supposed self-ignition of vapors in a center fuel tank. It starts sounding plausible enough upon spurious examination and soon enough, after a coordinated media circus, most folks will go along with it and dutifully begin to ape all on their own the same discrediting tactics as they have heard repeated over and over again in the media.

Putting all that aside, the official NTSB explanation does not stand up well when examined more closely, so it is a good thing that someone has enough spine to reopen this thing and see where the clues lead this time.

I don't need tin foil or spam to realize that things in this instance may not be as they were made to appear, no matter how many may be emotionally invested in the prevailing spin.

A SAM kills with a huge shotgun blast of shrapnel, what's left of the target looks like swiss cheese.

No shrapnel holes in TWA 800.
