one or more ordnance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash
I don’t normally get into conspiracy theories, but this one has always bugged me.
I remember listening to the witnesses on land who saw the missile trail… That has always bugged me… and how they were told that they didn’t know what they were seeing?? :rolleyes:
I think it was an accident deemed too horrific for the public to know.
Who has missles with proximity detinators? Not Al keeter!
I had two very close friends of the family on flight 800. It has always bothered me.
I hope this doesn’t go south… And I’m not into any of that 9/11 inside job kind of quackery…
But this one stunk to high heaven from the get go. The fuel tank story was absurd.
I was fairly close to this event even though I was young(14). My father was the pilot union president at TWA at the time and we had a friend of the families who was the flight engineer. I still remember the night it happened.
Not a ton of TWA people believed the NTSB reports. Not many of the people I know who actually saw the wreckage believed the NTSB reports.
Just remember, the term “conspiracy theory” was coined to discredit those who seek the truth, and aren’t willing to accept the STORY told by either the media, government, or both.
FWIW, in aircraft accident investigation, eyewitness accounts are frequently flat out wrong.
Not that they “didn’t see what they saw”, but their mental interpretation of what they saw was not correct.
That is true. We used to send up flares on balloons at night. This stoked the quack community into all kinds of versions of what they saw our “UFO” do.
I always figured either a checked bag bomb or missile took this plane down. It looks like the missle is what happened.
Would it not be a UFO? Unidentified flying object…I see no mention of aliens, green men, ect.
If you see something flying in the sky that you cant id, its a ufo by definition.
No green men. Road flare. (IFO)Identified Floating object. Back to the Gubment blowing a plane out of the sky now.
Nowadays with all that is coming out on so many scandals who can rationally label the idea the government lies to us habitually and nearly always as a " conspiracy theory?"
The official explanation in 1997 was stupid and lame, nobody believed it. There were obvious attempts to silence people.
I 100% agree with you and am involved in accident investigation myself.
However in this case I think there were a hundred or more witnesses that all said they saw something go UP. These were people stretched across Long Island who didnt know each other, never talked to each other either before or after, etc… that all said the same thing. I would tend to agree that witness statements can be a bit off when you are talking 5 people who saw something, but when it reaches into the 100’s and everybody is saying the same thing, its kind of hard to ignore.
ETA: one thing I always found interesting was that there was a guided missile frigate in the area that night and then mysteriously the next day was steaming to Antarctica or something like that.
We all bash our roach president now for his filthy ways… but It makes me wonder if the President new the facts on this at that time… 
Not that it would have been an agenda item like Hussein… but I still wonder if he knew the truth.
Clinton was in office in 1996.
That’s right. Damn. It’s been a while.
best of luck to the whistle blowers… thank you for your attempt at honesty even if it was many years late.
A coverup of this magnitude would be a dangerous item to whistle blow on. I don’t blame them for not being able to come forward at that time. I’d have been shittin twinkies too. 
Wasn’t this close to when Clinton fired cruise missiles at Afghan training camps?
I would expect so.
Can you imagine that conversation??:eek:
“Sir the Navy just shot down a passenger plane.”
“No they didn’t… It sounds like a mechanical failure to me.”
Holy smokes!
A petition to reconsider the findings has been filed but…
The NTSB will decline the request for reconsideration because there is no new evidence and a showing that the boards original findings were erroneous would indicate a cover up. The documentary film behind the request will aired on July 17 on Epix TV.
I’m betting that pieces of TWA 800 that document an external ordnance explosion will have gone missing…
