We're looking at hundreds, maybe thousands of people, and none of them are speaking up. Simply not possible.
Thanks for accusing the Prez of covering up a terroist attack, moonbat.
Here's a little ditty to add to the conspiracy/coverup theory. FWIW, I was chatting with someone recently who said that the HAARP project had something to do with TWA 800. Supposedly, someone who worked at HAARP at the time said that they had really screwed up. What that means, I don't know.
"I don't believe that anyone in the military would shot down a passenger airline (excepted one controlled by terrorist). And if they believed that is what they were doing, they would not keep it a secret."
I happened to be an observer a few years ago when two Navy missiles were fired from Wallops Island for the purpose of hitting a drone off the east coast of the U.S. Perhaps flight 800 was in the wrong place at the right time. That would explain the presence of other military assets in the area that night.
If there were a missile test for the purpose of testing SDI technology for example, you can be assured that it would be classified so highly no one would talk about it.
I'm not saying I believe that's what happened (I tend to believe it was a terrorist hit), but that is a plausible explanation as to how the military could have been involved.
The internet is truly amazing. I decided to search for any information that included TWA 800 and HAARP. What I found is basically what this person was saying.
Here's the link: http://www.dudeman.net/siriusly/0/sup/twa800.shtml
IF HAARP had anything to do with it, it wouldn't be so surprising that it would have been covered up due to classified information.
It would have to be at least hundreds. The Toon and friends couldn't even keep word about his fickle pickle from leaking out, or keep the lid on the stuff Gary Aldrich put in Unlimited Access, but they can shut up hundreds of people, many of whom had no love for the Toon, I'm sure?
Get a grip on this: Conspiracy theories such as this require the silence of hundreds of people who have zero incentive to be silent. It's crap. The center tank exploded (similar thing happened to a KC-135 while I was working them) and when the nose came off the burning rear half looked like a missile trail. End of story.
I'm not sure what you mean by conspiracy theories--the possible missile strike or the alleged cover-up, but virtually every terrorist strike that occurs is a conspiracy. The 9/11 incident was a conspiracy. The first WTC bombing was a conspiracy. The government typically charges terrorists with conspiracy along with other things when they're caught. Terrorist strikes by nature must be carried out through the coordinated action of numerous individuals--a conspiracy by definition.
Now, it is much harder to envision our own government officials being involved in a conspiracy, but it isn't impossible. Implausible but not impossible. That may be what you're saying.
Actually, it was the Clinton administration which covered it up. The Bush administration's motive in letting things lie is preserving the integrity of the presidency. That's what the New Tone is all about.
Why not, especially if it brings out the truth?
I am fed up with people who keep avoiding the truth.
Exactly. Sure, there are eywitnesses who say they saw missile trails, but no one who saw a launch. The fact that the rear half of the plane shot up and left a fire trail explains the "missile trail" sightings. The lack of a missile launch sighting cannot be explained.
Some people actually think Bush engineered the attack on the WTC and this war. I'm assuming you weren't talking about that.
Think about it: why is it farfetched to think the media would 'hide' any complicity of Bill Clinton's involvement in the TWA flight going down? The MSM protect Dems all the time, so as infuriating as it would be, it doesn't surprise.
Doesnt Iran have anti-aircraft missiles on its navy ships and submarines?
I don’t believe the military fired the missile. I don’t think that could be covered up.
I doubt that American enlisted servicemen would keep a secret like shooting down an American commercial airline. Some of them would talk long before now.
A few years back under clinton, we had extensive discussions of this here on FR. Alamo Girl made a whole fantastic compilation, which she put on the web (link on FR main page - or at least there was), and I do remember that there was some famous person on board, who had just escaped from another crash/attack. In fact there were several other 'people of special interest' too.
34 - "Some will say I am crazy, but I am almost positive someone showed on a news channel the radar data that showed TWA 800 and something intersecting with it, then both disappeared on one of the news shows shortly after it happened?"
===
Relax, you are not crazy. I saw it too, found it on the net, and had a copy (until my hard drive crashed), and as you said, it 'disappeared' from the web, and I could never find it again, anywhere, and I really searched. But I still have a picture in my mind of that scope, the two tracks intersecting and then both disappearing.
Claims were made at the time. I can't remember who it was right off the top of my head, but I recall seeing information about this several times. IIRC, the FBI initially mentioned a couple of groups claiming responsibility, then... nothing...
From what I've read of this incident, it was a missile.
The Bush administration covered up all the clinton's crimes.
I'm a skeptic, too. But I don't think there's anything wrong with simply challenging the version of events presented by the government. Certainly, there are difficult questions about that version. If the investigators already had hatched a theory to include a specific culprit without solid evidence I would join you in equating them with the left. The left's wild conspiracy theories always start with the premise that "the government" or Bush or the CIA did it. Here, people like Lahr are saying, let's figure out what happened before assigning responsibility. I don't think they're the same.
BTTT. I love this freaky crap!
I remember that, too, but I've never seen it reliably verified.
