The reconstruction of TWA Flight 800's fuselage. (Daniel Brooks/Epix) The producers of an upcoming documentary on TWA Flight 800—which exploded and crashed into the waters off Long Island, N.Y., on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 people on board—claim to have proof that an explosion outside the Paris-bound flight caused the crash. And six former investigators who took part in the film say there was a cover-up and want the case reopened.

Never a doubt in my mind.
This was a terrorist attack using some type of ManPad off a boat.
twa 800 is to clinton as benghazi is to obama
Could be.
“Finally those involved fess up — why now?”
Because Clinton is running for President 2016, and TWA 800 was the Clintons’ first Benghazi.
Obamatollah and his Merry Marxists are betting on the adage, “Two points make a line.”
They’ll pop the lid on the TWA 800, then try tagging the Benghazi coverup on her too.
The Sikorsky SH-53D flown by the USMC used to employ 500 gallon fiberglass ferry tanks to extend their range. Navy & USAF CH-53s had external tanks and did not need the ferry tanks.
However, after a USMC -53 was blown out of the sky by an exploding ferry tank, use of these tanks was prohibited. The accident investigation board believed that the crew chief removed the fill cap to check fuel level. Static electricity and inadequate grounding procedures most likely ignited the fuel vapors.
Jet fuel has lower vapor pressure than gasoline. Whereas the air over gasoline in a closed tank will become too rich to be explosive, jet fuel in a tank(Kerosine), with its lower vapor pressure, does have an explosive air mix in the tank.
We were investigating the possibility of flying our -53s to Europe and first tried the equivalent flight legs from North Carolina to Homestead, FL to Grand Turk to Roosevelt Roads, PR. We had to get special permission and give additional training to flight crews before we were allowed to use those 500 gall fiberglass ferry tanks.
An “empty” (having previously contained fuel) jet fuel tank will very definitely explode.
"102 [eyewitnesses] gave information about the origin of the streak. Six said the streak originated from the air, and 96 said that it originated from the surface."
I never really bought into the “gas tank explosion” conspiracy theory. I think that and the Egypt Air crash were both terrorist attacks OR “dry” runs for the future Sept 11th terror attacks.
RE: Your post 44
You make very good points. I would never put it past Obama to do it.
El Moslemo and his cabal work in mysterious ways, but now that his mask has slipped, even bystanders can see his inner jihadi.
Great book, love how he tied up the ending.
Clinton never showed.
O'Connor booked no compromise with Clinton, and he had to be dead for both of them to set foot in St.Patricks.
There could not have been an explosion caused by a spark in the fuel tank because the concentration of fuel vapors would have been too high to explode.
Why do I think there was a coverup? Because six of the investigators say they covered up. Their confessions are good enough evidence for me.
Caveated with an offer he couldn't refuse.
My father-in-law was an engineer with TWA at this time. He said all along that this was not a wiring issue and that something shot down the plane. The findings were a complete joke. He is hardly a conspiracy type, but said this was a whitewash.

The impersonator just wants to hold a huge press conference to tell the world that a US Navy rocket accidentally hit TWA-800 and how his FBI led by Eric Holder found out the truth. Kinda like the Jimmy Hoffa game not getting enough bandwidth, so let’s try this.
Thanks for the info...
Witnesses can see (from over 5-miles away) a 4’ long missile painted flat green, no reflective surfaces, plume burnt out seconds after launch. I want their eyes.
With you on that.
The scope and scale of a cover-up of this nature would be unworkable.
