Shoe bomber 1 took this plane down.

Ignore this disinfo article. Very slick tho'.

Ah! Someone else remembers the quickly buried eye witness report of an explosion at the "armpit" of the wing...

[Rokke]

Yeah. American has first class, business class, economy class, and stuff them behind the rear bathrooms near the auxillary power unit class. That's just where our suicidal, but thrifty, shoebomber was sitting. Clever. Very clever.

Phooey, you tinfoilers are out tonight. Is it a full moon?

Shoe bomber 1 took down TWA800.

This was simply shoddy French manufacturing.

Its very obvious, for those with a brane, that the American Airlines flight out of JFK was Richard Reid's first attempt. He just perfected it later.

Fred, I'm with you. Guess that puts us in the 10% of the nutcases.

Rokke is well informed, but he knows I disagree with him. Tails like this don't fall off as an initiating event. The eyewitnesses were cops and firemen who lived in the neighborhood--their eyewitness accounts of an explosion-starboard side by the wing-- were deflected almost immediately.They even took an ad out in the NY papers to get their view out. It wasn't until Richard Reid almost a month later that we could enviswion how a plane could be taken out in this manner.
