Most of those who alllege Flight 800 was shot down by a missile still believe the huge fireball explosion took place at about 13,800 feet only moments after a fiery streak.

Does Cashill?

Or Sanders?

Yet, other longtime supporters of the missile(s) theory such as Swordmaker and tpaine contend that the huge fireball exploded at about 7,000 feet.

What difference does it make? Simply put, the 747 could not have been a missile(s) shootdown victim if the huge fireball bal explosion took place at anywhere near 7,000 feet moments after the fiery streak.

I think TWA 800 was not shotdown. I pretty much accept the NTSB findings.

If TWA 800 was not shot down then why does the government prosecute someone who comes up with evidence that it may have been? If the guy is coming up with tinfoil then why not disprove his evidence instead of threatening him and prosecuting him under a very specious law that was not meant to be used on reporters or authors?

I remember seeing a home video on the air...moments after this happened. I definitely saw a red streak going upward toward the jet...just before the explosion... and thought "Oh my gosh... that was a ground to air missile!" I kept watching afterward to see if they would replay this particular tape and they never did.

Next thing I know...the media is playing this down and acting like everyone experienced a mass delusion.

I reject most all conspiracy theories, this one included. But hey, I am open minded, just extremely sceptical.

I have followed this case for a long time and read a lot on it. I do believe it was shot down. Another Clinton Cover up. “Don’t want to rattle the public and ruin my approval rating do we?”

Isn’t this the guy that STOLE evidence from the collection site?

Maybe I’m thinking of another guy who was prosecuted?

I saw that video too- there is NO WAY they will convince me otherwise. It was a missile streaking upward, then an explosion. It was aired on NATIONAL TV(CNN?) then promptly removed and never shown again.

If the FBI is right then the case can be closed and the files released.

As of right now the case in considered “Active” meaning all the info the FBI and NTSB has gathered is classified.

The government can’t have it both ways. (Well I guess they can because this is what they are doing right now and will be doing for the rest of my life.) If it was a fuel tank explosion, then it is not a criminal investigation and they can release all the evidence collected in the investigation. If not, then the Government should say that they don’t know for sure what happened and still suspects foul play.

I have no problem believing that a few jihads sat in a boat with a Russian missile and let one go.

A lucky hit in an empty fuel tank and boom.

I wonder sometimes if Sandy Burglar stole the documents from the National Archives that had to do with the shooting down of flight 800.

Could it be?

My wife and myself both were watching breaking news at the time, and we heard statements of several eyewitnesses including pilots in the vicinity, persons on the beach, and elsewhere about the “streak” of light. Those statements were never heard of again other than as I am stating in this post.

Call me a conspiracy nut, but I find it completely plausible that the downing of TWA #800 was an act of terrorism. Too many witnesses, too close to the precursor of 9/11. Add in the Clinto administration and to me, it adds up.

Has there ever in the history of avionics, a commercial plane just blow up?

There never has been any irrefutable evidence that there ever was any such video.

There are lots of such witness reports readily available from both the NTSB and the internet.

No. The technical information in the report could be used by terrorist.
