“Overheated engine” is what they are saying. Of course, if a middle hit the engine, it would indeed be “overheated” and it would be instantaneous, as it appears to be, crew said nothing, just bang and incapacitated.

Iran shot it down, its really that simple. Notice hardly a mention about this plane crash in the commie media..why? Because they have to protect Iran, this is a war crime, they shot down a plane killing 176 people, families, children, etc

Well, the laws of chemical and fuel reactions didn’t apply to TWA-800, so don’t get your hopes up here people.

100+ eyewitnesses, some of them military personnel with a lot of experience in the weapons of warfare, deemed of no use by the authorities, many of them never even interviewed.

Thanks James. I’ll never forget.

Was the air conditioning running for a long time on a hot runway before takeoff? I’ve read that this can cause an empty fuel tank to overheat and volatile vapors form that can be ignited by static electricity.

Perhaps US air defense assets shot it down to embarrass the Iranian regime. A Stinger missile launched from Diego Garcia might do it. And Trump was behind it!

Who was on the plane? Hardliners fleeing the country? Canadian-Iranian operatives?

Nothing against you, but I’ve always wondered why that witness number changes every time I see it.

Who was on the plane?

What does the “two-hop” group of acquaintances look like?

Did Hillary or Kevin Spacey know any of them? /sarc

Most of them being Iranian. It was an accident caused by the Iranians when the plane flew into the missile. (Their words, not mine)

Because most of us know there were quite a few people around that water’s edge, but we don’t remember the exact number.

I actually believe it was more like 150+, but I didn’t recall so I low-balled it.

Well maybe the Ukraine will have something to say if it’s true.

"Perhaps the plane was mistaken for a military aircraft
and shot down by Iran’s own air defenses?"

I think that is the most likely explanation.
That's why the Iranians aren't letting anyone see
the Flight Data Recorder or the Cockpit Voice Recorder.
