Bad guys shot missle from rented boat that was never returned. They carried a long case maybe carrying a missle. Bad guys were going to shoot down El Al plane, but that flight was switched with TWA 800 at taxi time. Military knew about the plans of bad guys to shoot plane. Bad guys fired, military intercepted missle but at point of impact just happened to be at point of plane engine. Oops.

These cockamamie conspiracy theories all suffer from grossly excessive weight.

E.g., in this one, the absolute limit is terrorists with a MANPAD trying to bag an El Al. As soon as you add in a missing rented boat and US prior knowledge and failed intervention, you end up with hundreds needing to be in the know. Yet nobody blows the whistle on the fiasco. Not possible.

BTW, one thing I find surprising is the lack of MANPAD attacks outside of war zones and third-world rat holes, given the number of them that have supposedly fallen into jihadi hands.

.
There’s the really big flaw in your logic.

There were plenty of whistles blowing, but none were being listened to.

Hey, I’m just telling what was said. That said, I don’t buy the electrical wire short story peddled by the feds. Was the flight line up changed...easy to confirm. Military (Navy) in the area at time of crash, might be possible to confirm. Did they leave the area at time of rescue operation, again might be possible to confirm. Was there a boat rental by some questionable looking guys, possible to confirm or not. Somebody with the time and talent to follow up on this theory, I would hope someone comes forward with the truth. Some retired NTSB guys who were working on this crash are gonna talk in the next few weeks. Lets hope they will share the truth about TWA flight 800. The families, survivors?, and the American people deserve the truth.
