Your allegations serve no constructive purpose. Present the readers with supporting evidence.

As I understand them, ground to air missiles do not use 'pellets' to kill an aircraft, as 'pellets' would do little damage to a modern military aircraft (designer's original target). AA missiles generally detonate with a cone shaped burst of hard nuggets or fragments. They are very distinctive.

I would suggest that if pellets were found, of some uniformity, then the culprit is more likely an on-board bomb.

I do not know or surmise what brought down TWA 800, but I know from firefighting experience that the atmosphere inside a warm, sealed jet fuel tank is not an explosive mixture. The explosive mixture is too rich. A ruptured fuel tank, leaking fuel will spew fuel that atomizes, vaporizes and burns, perhaps explosively... but fuel tanks do not explode unless there is another charge detonated nearby or inside the tank.

I asked you a question:

Who are you, and why do you do this?
I didn't make "allegations." I just asked a question, and you ignored it. (I would be happy to answer the same question, but you and almost everyone else here already knows the answer.)

I did present some brief description of evidence. (Police reports are evidence.) If you rally want I can probably still find a link to the reports, or repost a few of the ones I saved.

But more to the point, about who you are I mean. I just did a search for your posts. The overwhelming majority were obviously about TWA 800, which I find a bit unusual. But I wanted to see what you had to say about another topic, so I clicked on something about "FBI warns law enforcement that al- Qaeda may have SAMs," and you know what, that post was about TWA 800 too.

I suggest you reply honestly, or go away. Any other reply will trigger an abuse report from me. FR doesn't need disinformation specialists.
