For those interested, the wreckage of TWA 800 is on a framework stand at the NTSB academy in northern Virginia. They take you through it during some of the courses there. Very interesting to crawl rough it and see how it broke up. They go through a few of the conspiracy theories while at the airplane.
 
Actually, it's a lot easier to ignore facts and science and believe a bunch of crackpots.

Hey union thug -

Are you calling former ALPA accident investigator, Jim Speer, a crackpot?

Do you know Jim?

I don't know Jim, but he's seriously misguided if he thinks a missile hit TWA 800.

Ditto to what JimNtexas said.
 
Yet Another subject PCL has anointed himself an expert on.

Clearly not the case. I am deferring to the experts. You are the one deciding that you are smarter than they are and disputing their report. Your arrogance is astounding.

So ALPA's Jim Speer isn't an expert?

The best accident investigation experts work for the NTSB.
 
...and they were told to ignore what they found and come up with a different answer more palatable to geo political realities of the times.

The "experts" were not allowed to do their job.

You mean like NTSB accident investigator Hank Hughes?

HANK HUGHES: My report, which was 496 pages in length, or thereabouts, with photographic supplement, was cut and amended without my knowledge. When I did find out about it, I complained. Nothing was done. We were required to provide a factual report, but ordered not to write an analysis.

KRISTINA BORJESSON: What? Could you say that again?

HANK HUGHES:
We were directed to write a factual report, but not an analysis.

KRISTINA BORJESSON:
What would your analysis have been?

HANK HUGHES:
The primary-primary conclusion was the explosive forces came from outside the airplane, not the center fuel tank.

TOM STALCUP:
Would that statement have been in your analysis?

HANK HUGHES:
If I got to write one.
