It was not a heat-seeking missle. It was a new type of missile that tracked its target using the target's own radio "signature." There was no explosion -- the missile functions more like a flak shell, by detonating close to the target and shredding it with hundreds of tungsten carbide cubes.

Jack Cashill used to be a well liked morning radio talk show host in KC. Had a moron lady lib as his co-host. Show got yanked all of a sudden. Probably because of her or because Jack spoke the truth.

Jack knows what he's talking about when it comes to flight 800.

So you are saying that the missle homed in on the aircrafts ID transponder? The explosion was internal. An airburst outside the aircraft would have not taken the nose off like it did. It would have had been as big as a Hawk or SA6 to get the plane. It had all the tell tale of a bomb going off. The streak is hard to explain though.

If it was a missle and did home in on the transponder, the missle made contact. I wonder how close the transmitting antenna would have been to the so called fuel tank or the nose of the aircraft. I think it broke into just forward of the wing.
