There are way too many areas of knowledge where FR for some reason gets all of its information from WingNutDaily.

Yes it's too bad everyone doesn't get their information from official Clinton Administration sources.

Can you believe these kooks can't accept the CIA theory of an airplane with it's nose blown off accelerating and climbing in level flight? What a bunch of crackpots, I tell you.

First case too that I’ve ever known the CIA to be experts of airliner flight characteristics ahead of the FAA and the NTSB.

Actually it was either an FBI or FAA theory, but I'll never buy it. Supposedly Flight 800 zoom climbed 3,000 feet, wings level, after its nose was blown off by a center fuel tank explosion. Without pilot or autopilot input (both gone from Flight 800) any plane in a zoom climb would've quickly fallen off on one wing, stalled, and augered in. The odds against this official scenario are probably about one trillion to one, which is why I'll never buy it.

One more note -- the official scenario posited a fuel probe (used to measure fuel level) caused the center fuel tank explosion. People who talk about the explosion being caused by a fuel pump spark are even more poorly informed than WorldNut Daily readers.
