Yes, it was. East Moriches, NY (Long Island). I had a couple of business friends who were outside, not more than 15 miles away that evening, and saw it happen. But the FBI field interviews went nowhere, after all the paperwork, pics, sketches etc were “classified”, er *sanitized*.
Well you know who was president at the time. I read about reports of witnesses seeing a rocket hitting the plane
Shot down with what?
You left out the video, taken from the patio of a restaurant/bar that was shown on the no-work news that night or the next.
