TWA 800 FOIA Suit Yields Smoking Gun

[Non-Sequitur]

Has the government ever explained why 747’s worldwide were not grounded immediately after the TWA flight 800 “crash” to implement a center fuel tank fix - including Air Force One?

When was the last time any class of airliners were ordered grounded immediately as a result of any crash? 727? 737? DC-10? L-1011? 757? 767? Any of them?

Just out of curiousity. Where is Jamie Gorelick now?? President of some university? as are most Clintanoids (well those not prematurely deceased).

The whole TWA 800 investigation was a sham and stunk.
This leads one to the logical conclusion that there is a cover-up by the most corrupt CIC in the history of this country.
Time to have the Burglar take the polygraph and then waterboarded!

This was a flight to Paris and the fuel tank was supposed to be empty or almost empty. It doesn't pass the smell test, IMHO.

That same 747 had flown non-stop from Athens to New York that day. By comparison a flight from New York to Paris was a short hop and there is no reason why the center fuel tank should have been filled. If you're not going to need the fuel then why fill it and drag all that extra weight with you?

It appears to document that some form of missile testing was taking place in the area just five days before the TWA 800 incident. I’m about 50/50 wondering if some group was going “Oh shit!” or “Praise be to Allah” on the 17th.

Tinfoil material.
Gheeeez!

It has already been established that tests in the area were being conducted by the military; so a video of evidence of it 5 days before the 747 crash is perfectly consistent and totally irrelevant.

Or did I miss something here?

[DoughtyOne]

I should add, I’m 0% convinced that the center fuel tank blue due to some design flaw.

[Perdogg]

I agree with the third sentence.

[Publius6961]

The first attack is one thing to excuse...it’s the second launch that downed TWA 800 that should have had General Wesley Clarke and his peers fired.

Moonbat logic.
The first launch (irrelevant) is on tape; the second (if it ever happened) is not.

Fevered fantasies or paranoia are not documentation.

Gorelick's history of selling us a bill of goods, who shot it down?

[Perdogg]

What are your qualifications and experiences in investigating airline disasters and terrorist incidents?

[Apercu]

I believe 737’s, 747’s & L1011’s have been grounded briefly for rudder control & engine problems. While F-15’s are military, no time was wasted on their grounding for non combat missions several days ago.Why so long to fix the center fuel tank on Air Force One? The point is, there are too many witnesses & the stench of Clinton cover up that make the final report very questionable.We will probably never know.

[Publius6961]

Fishing trawlers dragging the harbor also found the MANPADS ejector can —that’s the rapid-burn thing that boosts the missile out of the launcher in such a way to provide for a launch that doesn’t burn the terrorist.

They probably found rocks, too. Doesn't prove that the 747 was "brought down" by rocks...

[JerseyDvl]

I do not believe the center fuel tank theory either.
You would have a better chance of convincing me that someone was smoking next to the damn fuel tank.
It was certainly shot down in my opinion but why and by who will always remain a question.

[neverdem]

If you're not going to need the fuel then why fill it and drag all that extra weight with you?

That makes sense with perfect fuel systems. So how come they are always dumping fuel before emergency landings?

[JerseyDvl]

Has anyone read the book nightfall by Nelson Demille?
It is a great read and though fiction, it is based on this event and the subsequent investigation.
Like I said....it’s FICTION...but it is a good book that I recommend.
And boy, what an ending!!

I believe 737’s, 747’s & L1011’s have been grounded briefly for rudder control & engine problems.

I've heard that individual airlines may have grounded their aircraft following an incident, but certainly in the case of the 747 and L-1011 I've never heard of a worldwide grounding.

[Non-Sequitur]

That makes sense with perfect fuel systems. So how come they are always dumping fuel before emergency landings?

Just at a guess, if you're trying to land in an emergency then you might want as little of the stuff that might burst into flames onboard as possible.

How about the Airbus grounding following the crash in NY a couple weeks after Sept 11?

[thinking]

We should ask Jim Kalstrom, he will tell us the truth. Sarcasm on!.............

Yes! this one guy that knows where the “skeletons” are hidden
