evidence points to an accidental strike by the U.S. Navy. Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/aussies-shine-light-on-twa-flight-800/#7rTISaLIIsYHh8gV.99

This is what I was pretty confident had happened since a few months after the event.
They should have come clean and taken their lumps.
We’ll see if this is born out over time. If so, Bill Jeff and a passel of liars need to go to Fort Leavenworth. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200 dollars.
Kahlstrom, you fat ——, I do so hope you get yours, the just rewards, if you were doing what I think you were.
That’s usually my first thought about these theories. How many people would have to say nothing, and for how many years? It defies logic and human nature. Still, it could happen....just very unlikely IMO.
The eye witnesses said they saw a fiery trail up to the plane. Since the plane would have been at the edge of a shoulder launched missile's range it would not have had a trail like that in either sustain or coast phase when it hit. That means if it was a missile it would have been a larger one.
I’ve never been a fan of the low-voltage spark exploding the center fuel tank theory... It’s hard to believe. But I’m not buying this either.
a.) It’s WND. One big problem right there. Note the lack of any actual new evidence. Just the same warmed-over opinions.
b.) There is just no way— no way— that a whole navy ship full of hundreds of sailors could keep a secret this juicy for this long. Ain’t happening.
I’d still believe it was a surface launched missile, but from a terrorist boat somewhere, not the navy. Much easier to keep a secret within a smaller group of FBI and Boeing investigators. Also a good way to get the CIA of all people to make you a sweet graphic movie. The motive is even a little bit noble... If you hide the terrorist angle and you deny them their prize.
Agree in general with your comments.
The thing that makes me dubious about the “terrorist missile” is that there was only one.
Hard to imagine they would stop there. It’s not like they had access to the only functional manpad in the world.
Has WND ever been right or had legitimate sources? Seriously, I am just curious.
D@mn you're ruining the whole conspiracy fun....
There was a video. There was a party and someone was taping it. The video clearly showed a “trail” going up toward the plane. My son and I were up late that night and saw it on the news. The video was confiscated and never shown again.
At least Pres. William Jefferson Clinton worked hard to get to the bottom of this and make certain all the facts came out.
There’s been all sorts of one-off terrorist attacks. The shoe bomber. The underwear bomber. 9-11 even. They tend to go with what works and gets them press. But we’ve countered the things that worked and made them harder. So 9-11 hasn’t happened again... And other attacks have been stopped.
Bombing airliners has been far more frequent than the shoe/underwear stuff.

A fairly large group of military guys can be induced to keep their mouths shut until many years later when you get death-bed confessions. I know this. I was AFSA.
sorry, my bad...
The mother of all coverups. If it was an accidentally fired missile, probably a safety switch was in the wrong position during a simulated fire exercise, then the entire crew of the ship would have to know.
I beg to differ. I know it can happen. And it would NOT have been the whole crew knowing what happened. I was AFSA way back when and my father- career navy officer- told me some things before he died that tells me that, yes, a whole ship’s crew can be intimidated to keep mum until the “deathbed confessions” of a few.
It wasn’t a heat seeking missile, he said a proximity missile and they’re radar guided.
My bid is on a lone-wolf shoe-bomber, sitting right over the center fuel tank.
We got a passengerlist/seating assignment? (psst look for a mohammed)
A lot of us figured, from the git-go, that this was either a terrorist or we accidentally did it ourselves. There was a practice going on and our missiles are all that could have done it easily.
I leaned in that direction but thought it would just be impossible to cover up.
And Benghazi was caused by a you tube video.
They dismissed the testimony of 200 eyewitnesses who all saw a missile.
Obama's school records have been kept a secret since before flight 800.
