Considering the election was only 3 months away, it's plausible there was ample reason to make sure people didn't think a terrorist attack downed that plane. Remember, bill was running on "PEACE and Prosperity". How would he be able to reconcile that so-called peace with an attack?
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.
