So far as I know not a single witness said they saw two distinct missile paths. How could they all have missed that?
If a missle is looking at a blob of heat, then they seperate into 4 distinct heat sources (5 if you count the A/C) I can see the heat seeker locking on to the A/C heat source.
The missile seeker will lock on before the missile is fired. From that range, the hottest target would have been one of the engines.
They look at their watch, calculate the time and shoot at what they THOUGHT was the El-Al flight. Instead they hit TWA800.
Any terrorist who based their plan of an airplane leaving JFK on time has obviously never flown into or out of New York.
I’ve never stated that any witness saw 2 missle trails. Multiple witnesses saw missle trails. Interviewing the many witnesses produced 2 likely launch points.
It is well within the realm of probablity that a person who saw one missle would not see the other.
The seeker head on a stinger would not have the ability to distinguish between 4 seperate engine sources of a 747 at a range of 2 miles. As the missle closes closer to the heat sources, it chooses between on of the heat sources.
