'Triple Cross' Blows TWA 800 Wide Open

I don't know. I also don't know what the "normal" settlement value is in such cases.

At least two other aircraft with the center fuel tank of identical design have exploded at random.

When? Where? How many died? What is your source?

11 May, 1990 a Philippine Airlines Boeing 737-3Y0 suffers a center fuel tank explosion while preparing for takeoff.

It should also be noted that four years later, on Philippines Air Flight 434 out of the same airport (Ninoy Aquino Int'l), a Ramsey Yousef bomb did explode on board, killing 1.

3 March, 2001 a Thai Airways International Boeing 737-4D7 explodes at the gate. At first a bomb was thought to be the cause and the news even reported bomb residue had been found but later this proved inaccurate. All evidence pointed to a center fuel tank explosion not caused by an explosive device.

On a flight that was to carry Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his son, in a region, not unlike the Philippines, with an Islamist insurgency problem of its own.

In the case of PM Shinawatra, it's not difficult to understand why he might try to downplay a coup attempt. Just as it's not difficult to understand why the Clinton administration didn't want to deal with the Flight 800 headache ahead the Atlanta Olympics and the election.

It's also interesting that in at least two of the three center fuel tank explosions ever, bomb residue was initially found before being explained away at a later time. I'm curious to know if we have any record of bomb residue being mistakenly found on any other non-terror related plane crash.

Don't even bother trying to convince the TWA-800 Conspiracy Zealots.

C'mon... you're in every one of these threads, every time they come up, trying to do just that.

Convince us why John Kerry and Stephanopolous called 800 a terrorist attack on and after 9/11. A slip of the tonuge? Kerry said it twice in ten days on two different talk shows. And he was on the Intelligence Committee at the time.

if it was terrorists we would have said so, nothing to hide.

When you consider who was in office in 1996, this leap of faith might be more implausible that all of the other theories combined.

A conspiracy would mean ALL who participate are in agreement, not just Clinton, you're talking about too many people, too many secrets, just impossible, use common sense.

A conspiracy would mean ALL who participate are in agreement, not just Clinton, you're talking about too many people, too many secrets, just impossible, use common sense.

Conspiracies require no such transparency, in fact they require just the opposite. The definition of the word only calls for the involvement of multiple parties, not all.

But there were some involved in the investigation who did come forward about what they believed was an official cover-up. NTSB investigator Hank Hughes testified before Congress about the matter. And Dr. Vernon Gross, also of the NTSB, has come forward on a number of occassions. St. Louis PD officers also testified to dispute the claims made by the NTSB regarding the on-board bomb-sniffing exercise used to explain away the PETN and RDX residue found across ten rows of seats.

And like I said above, John Kerry (Senate Intelligence Committe circa 1996) and George Stephanopoulos (Senior WH advisor, circa 1996) both classified TWA 800 as a bombing on and after September 11, 2001.

So let's not pretend this is all some well protected secret. Plenty has come to light in the last ten years to call the official position on Flight 800 into question.

I have tried to point out that other anomalies about those scenarios that make them implausible.

Correction to #128: Vernon Grose (not Gross).

"LEE HARVEY OSWALD SHOT AND KILLED JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY"

I'm not exactly sure what your direction of your comment is about the JFK assassination.

You may certainly have your opinion as well as me, mine. However, if you take the time to study the Zapruder film, one can plainly see that the second shot that exploded Kennedy's skull, first at impact, JFK's head snapped back to the rear of the limo and that is not consistent with how a body /mass reacts against the momentum of a high powered rifle slug. I was aware of this fact back in 1971 after closely looking at the film.

Head Shot

Say what you like, but, officially this nation and it's leaders will never admit to the conspiracy that took place to remove Bobby Kennedy as US Attorney General. The mob decided to keep his ego off the business of the mob in NOLA and Texas as well as to remind daddy Joe K. that the union vote was delivered as promised, and his son Bobby was a major problem for them. That's exactly why 5 years later Senator Kennedy was assassinated in a hotel kitchen.

"I saw the reconstruction of Flight 800, who told you it wasn't available to see, it was on tv for god's sake. "

Did you get a chance to look at the PORT side of the fuselage just in front of the wing? Also, since when does the FBI take over plane crash investigation ahead of the NTSB? Why did the Janet Reno justice department seal all "official" investigative documents on that particular flight?

Several individuals with high ranking military background called for an investigation of the investigators themselves. Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the crash should be reinvestigated, without FBI involvement and Congress should investigate the FBI's handling of the case. Moorer believes "all evidence points to a missile."

In an open letter addressed to "Fellow Americans" Admiral Moorer makes several cogent points worth consideration.

* Why didn't investigators look for the clues that would be left by the explosion of a large sophisticated missile detonating in close proximity to the target?

* Why did investigators ignore the compelling evidence that indicated that this is just what happened?

* The extremely tough nose-wheel tire, that survives most crashes, was shredded on TWA FL 800 even though the plane crashed over water. The doors that cover the wheel when retracted were blown inward by external force.

* Why hasn't the public been shown the photographs of the shredded nose-wheel tire?

* How could an explosion in the fuel tank between the wings blow in the nose gear doors that are 70 feet away?

* How could the center fuel tank explosion shred the nose-wheel tire, but not the tires of the wheel close to it?

And furthermore, how in the he$$ can the same story of approximately 120 eye witnesses be totally ignored as fictitious or of no meaning by the FBI?

I'll tell you why: because Slick Willie could not stand the thought of anything staining 'his legacy'.

Well, with due respect, sir, words may be your forte', but physics and logic are definitely not your strong suit.
