I was at a Holiday Inn in Wichita, KS having dinner in the bar on July 17, 1996. It was early that Wednesday evening and there were maybe a couple dozen of us there, eating or having something to drink. A big screen TV had news on, and the downing of Flight 800 became the story and the conversation of the night.
Wichita, of course is a Boeing town, and there were a couple of Boeing engineers there. As we heard reports, saw video, heard eyewitness reports of seeing something streaking toward the plane moments before it exploded, the speculations began. One or two of the eyewitness reports came from officers in the military. Before that evening concluded for us there in Wichita, most of us parted believing that whatever brought that plane down was external to the plane, i.e. most likely a missle. 747's do not blow up like that on their own.
To this day, I am convinced that a missle brought down that plane. My question now - was it a terrorist missle, or did a missle test go awfully wrong. The cover up that began so soon that night points suspicion at a missle test gone wrong.
We need to know the truth about Flight 800, and we need the country to know the truth. The truth about Flight 800 may be key to stopping any further Clinton presidency.
When Al Gore was thinking about running abin for President, John Kerry mentioned Flight 800 in a speech where he was speaking about terrorism.
Some say it is why Gore didn't put his hat back in the ring.
