Granted, this is hearsay. But a very liberal acquaintance of mine from the east coast says it was a missile accidently fired from an Army Reserve base in New Jersey. She said the source was common knowledge on the east coast and they also knew Clinton feared the truth would ruin his re-election chances.
It’s kind of hard to believe that story along with the story about the navy holding firing exercises right under international flight paths - that was the second story. People are supposed to believe that the hundreds of sailors involved in a shoot not one came forward to some sleaze press for money to tell? And a missile “accidentally” fired from a base in NJ streaks across NYC to over LI and brings down a plane? Just too many “theories” out there. Which one do you pick? I go along with a cracked fuel tank that spewed a stream of jet fuel and was ignited by the engine heat burning from the end and running up to the tank exploding it. Same thing happened in the Philippines to a 737 just sitting on the ramp in Manila. Tank ruptured due to over pressure, squirted out some fuel and ignited.
