There was not a missle. This is not a conspiracy. Your government would not lie. In fact, in history there has never been a conspiracy. Except those that the government has told us about. Go back to sleep, please. Nighty-night. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I had read a copy of the NOTAM the area was cordoned due to military exercise. They picked the area to simulate interfences, radar returns, etc., from different airports in the surrounding area.

Yes and no. The NOTAM was active but it wasn't because of that. There is a sub base in New London. It wasn't uncommon for the Navy to take advantage of subs transiting to and from the base to do a little hands-on ASW training for the VP squadrons in Maine. The area was cordoned because there was a P-3 out of Brunswick doing low level maneuvers in the area.

Just curious, when a missle is launched off a ship, can the entire crew hear it go off?

Yes, when a ship launches a missile, everyone on board knows it.

Does this gentleman know what a Tomahawk is?

Apparently not.

Unless you're on an aircraft carrier and launching a small sea sparrow missile, yes the crew would here it, at the very least hear about it. It's a pretty big deal to launch missiles on a ship or submarine.

Some conspiracies are just to stupid to pay attention to. No if your talking about Clinton/Gore getting illegal campaign contributions, thats one thing, but the shooting down of TWA 800 by a US Navy ship is just stupid.

Hell yes. And more than that. I participated in a couple of live shots, and every one was preceeded by a number of 1MC announcements warning the crew to stay the heck away from the missile launcher when we shoot the missile. Half the crew were involved in the process of shooting it and the other half were topside taking pictures. Everyone knows when one of those things go off.

I'm sure Bush knows what happened...

I hope this is not sarcasm because I think you are right.

The problem with Bush is that he keeps thinking that being a nice guy and covering up for the Clintons will keep the Dems off his back. One would think that, since this strategy has clearly failed, that Bush would open up the "archives" and let some of the garbage out. We all know how it would be going if the shoe was on the other foot, as it may be, and very soon.

Tomahawk is an all-weather submarine or ship-launched land-attack cruise missile... He lost all credibility right there

Ditto. His 747 likely flies faster than a Tomahawk which is designed to hit land based targets, not aircraft.

Hmmm...the front section took 90 seconds to hit the water but the fuselage only took 35 seconds and it fell from a greater height (supposedly).

Seems logical. In both cases, they would have the forward momentum from the airplane. Something exploding in the middle of the airplane would cause the explosive force to radiate outward. Because the explosion was behind the front section, the force would be in a linear path with the current momentum. The force on the fuselage, however, would be directed in the opposite direction of the momentum.

You then have to take into account that the front section would still have a better aerodynamic profile from the nose, so it's forward momentum would continue for a longer period of time. The fuselage, however, would basically be a gaping hole, creating more drag and thusly, the forward momentum would be further decreased and the angle of fall would be steeper.

Or, in layman's terms, the fuselage continued on a forward path for a short period of time while the fuselage fell like a brick.

Nothing strange at all with that.

Has it been long that the extra terrestrials have been experimenting on you?

"John Kerry does. In the '04 campaign, he was on TV talking about various terror attacks and in his list he went through the embassies, the USS Cole, flight 800... the interviewer didn't make mention of it and nothing was ever said in other media about it(at least that I heard)."

I SAW THAT!

I saw him say that. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. After he said it there was a slight awkward pause and then he went on to the next question. I'm glad somebody else remembers.

I guess that makes two of us then. Every time I mention that people look at me like I'm making it up or say they've never heard of it.

Glad I'm not alone!

I think Ron Brown was already eliminated when his plane hit a hillside in Yugoslavia causing a .45 sized hole to appear in his skull, but then if he had been alive, he might have been distraught to learn that his business partner was on TWA flight 800.

The "lead shower" behind the left eye orbit and the perfect .45 sized hole in the top of his head says it was a post crash execution. One of the flight attendants who survived the crash died from a slashed femoral artery. The slash happened after the crash. Even the crash was a setup. The real airport landing transmitters were taken offline and a set of "fakes" were put in place to guide the aircraft into the mountain.

Looks like another "Arkancide".

If anyone who reads Cashill's latest spew on TWA800 and still believes he is anything other than a ghoul and a con artist trying to make blood money off of a tragedy, then I suggest immediate psychological counseling. In addition to his ridiculous cruise missile theory, he also mention "witness no. 150" like she's a credible witness. Here is part of her witness statement regarding TWA 800...

"It was a "frozen" moment. As the plane came apart, its nose turned up and to the right. She thought it was odd that she could see windows on the top right side of the front of the plane, even though she had previously been able to see only along its spine. It was a 747, she knew, because it had a bump on the top. At first, "fissures" developed all over the plane, particularly showing the passenger windows on the top of the plane's bump and the cockpit. There was no "fiery explosion", like in the movies. Flames did not come out. The front was carried forward and arced down with its momentum. The right wing seemed to stay with the front of the plane. There was a crater on the left side along the top of the plane, just behind the left wing. A portion of the left wing began to fall separately"(Bold emphasis mine)

Sounds like some real useful testimony. Very helpful. Until you learn she was 26 MILES AWAY from TWA 800 when it blew up. Anyone who believes this lady could see cracks forming on a 747 that was at 13,000' and 26 miles away is probably also likely to believe Cashill is more than just a shyster looking to make a quick buck off a tragedy. But Cashill thinks she's worth listening to. At least the small snippet of her testimony he's willing to quote. Does anyone on this site really want to stick up for Cashill, or can we finally add him to the growing trash heap of discredited "journalists" that plague our country.

I don't have any proof.

I read the article/email/essay and since the jist of the story is ...a black-ops training exercise shot it down by accident while trying to hit a drone through civilian air traffic.

Asking the question, what terminal harm would have come from the Clinton administration if they had admitted that...if that's what happened...right from day one?

Why the cover-up?

I always suspected it was a successful Reid shoe-bomber, but the many witness' testimonies suggest a missle.

The only other thing was a government sanctioned hit for that Iranian airbus shot down years ago.
