TWA 800: Wreckage Missing, Cases Pending, Eight Years Later
As the eight-year anniversary of the crash approaches, the first piece of wreckage that radar sites recorded separating from the plane is missing. Navy divers located and recovered this piece, but the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) apparently never got it.
The piece was recorded by multiple FAA radar sites hurling off the right side of the plane just as it exploded. Its significance cannot be overstated. It was ejected at apparent supersonic speeds, traveled horizontally 1/2 a mile (perpendicular to TWA 800’s flight path), and landed more than 1/4 mile closer to JFK airport than can be explained in the official crash scenario.
See http://Flight800.org/missing.htm for more information.
The NTSB is responsible for determining the probable cause of the crash by analyzing all of the physical evidence. Without this and other crucial pieces of evidence, the NTSB did not conduct a thorough investigation.
Two federal court cases--one on the West-coast in Los Angeles, and another on the East-coast in Springfield, MA--are making headlines this month as they seek tightly held crash documents being withheld by US government agencies.
In Massachusetts, Graeme Sephton, President of the Freedom of Information Advocacy Coalition (FIOAC), is suing the FBI for forensic data and analyses of foreign objects found during victim autopsy examinations. After winning an appeal at Boston Appeals Court last year, Sephton's case will be heard on July 22, 2004 at 2:30 PM at Springfield, MA District Court.
The case has already unearthed a report describing an FBI policy of withholding "suspicious" physical evidence from the NTSB during the investigation. Such a policy may explain how wreckage recovered by the Navy never made it to the NTSB.
On the West-coast, retired commercial pilot Ray Lahr is suing the NTSB to release data used to explain away what were believed to be missile sightings before the crash. According to the NTSB, the witnesses were actually watching Flight 800 climb sharply, after it exploded. Lahr's case will be heard August 2, 2004 at 10 AM at the Los Angeles Federal Court House.
TWA Flight 800 exploded and crashed off the coast of Long Island, NY on July 17, 1996. Witnesses reported seeing a streak of light rise from the ocean and collide with Flight 800 before the crash. Federal investigators dismissed the witness accounts due to an alleged absence of corroborating physical evidence, settling instead upon an electrical short circuit inside a fuel tank.

It was a missile. The center fuel tank explosion theory is a joke. Never happened before or after on a 747.
Why wasn't Clinton held accountable for letting this terrorist attack go unpunished?
MORE?

GORELICK GATE - various FR links
Because the media loves DemonRats.
200+ people saw streaks of light that looked like missiles head for TWA800 before the explosion - and all sightings were dismissed as simply some sort of optical illusion - one more example of Clinton and his people keeping up appearances - convince the public that everything's fine, and never mind what's really going on behind the scenes - disgraceful.......
I've heard Stephanopoulos has described TWA800 as a terrorist event, so has Kerry according to others. Gore-Lick apparently wants to be Kerry's AG. Heaven forbid.
Was there any terrorist attack prior to 9/11 that was punished?
I still have a hard time believing that this was anything more than what the NTSB has determined thus far. I know some folks who have been to the hanger where the wreckage was assembled, many hard working people went through an awful lot effort to investigate this crash, some of whom had friends/family on-board. The NTSB has been extremely open with sharing its results with the families. I can't imagine that they would all have been part of an enormous conspiracy.
FYI
I agree with your analysis. They gave us a bogus explanation. There's more to this story than what we've been told so far.
Not to get off topic, but I hope Rick Nash gets the chance to score 50 goals this season. He's awesome! He and Niki Zherdev are my favorite players on the Blue Jackets.
<< It was a missile. >>
Rubbish.
It was a walked-on bomb.
[The "missile" mis-information was, just as was the whoremonica hoo-har, (Though both distractions contained sufficient truth as to confuse) a deliberate red-herring to first arouse -- and to then shift the focus on to -- the fringe delusionals -- and to thus more easily detract from much larger and more awful evils. Treason and the like]
<< The "center fuel tank explosion" theory is a joke. Never happened before or after on a 747. >>
Absolutely true.
BUMPping
Has anyone here read the fascinating account of one Annie Jacobsen's airline flight on June 29, '04 with a plane load of Arab men?!
I heard the tail end of a discussion on Hugh Hewitt's radio show today. This evening went to his web site to check it out since it was unclear to me exactly what they were talking about.
Click the link and read but be prepared to be scared to death at what she relates...
Sorry, to those who will not be happy that this is off topic but I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere (or I missed it) and didn't want to attempt a 'vanity' post to bring it to people's attention...
Because everyone pretended it was just a fuel tank explosion, and if you don't believe that you are called a conspiracy theory tin foil hat nut.
If anyone does check this out--www.hughhewitt.com--sorry, again, but I won't be here to chat about it....I'm off the bed...
Do read it, tho'...it is something we should all be aware of
I am not a big conspiracy buff, but in this incidence,
I agree
there is a wonderful book about flight 800
I think "first strike"
Presents all the known information.
I don't think we know the story behind oklahoma city either.
A missile blew TWA800 out of the sky.
Any other conclusion is laughable.
Considering it was on July 17th, the national holiday of Iraq, just think what the man found in the spider hole knows about it.
Too bad he isn't talking.
I refuse to believe that the Bush administration would continue the cover up for almost 4 years if there was one conducted by the Clinton administration.
How could we not, it has been posted about a dozen times to FR. :-) (Search for "terror in the skies")
Could be the ace-in-the-hole against a certain Chappa-squaw candidacy, don't you agree?
While it is interesting and important, I am not sure what it would do other than assign blame to Clinton for 9/11.
If it gets closer, let's release the hounds!
