” If there is a cover up, what are they covering?”
As for the cover up: The official explanation was a ‘electrical spark’ in the center fuel tank led to BOOM!
On any given day I have 160+/- gallons of Jet A. Wires in my fuel tanks, I’m not worried. It does not burn with a match - it’s like diesel.
There was NOT an explosion in the center fuel tank from a ‘electrical spark.’
Why? Why would Bill Clinton ever admit there was any terrorism in the US of A on his watch?
It's not the fuel that explodes. It is the vapor that does. But, that doesn't answer my question. You don't shoot a 747 out of the air on purpose and not have a reason, good or perceived. I haven't heard anyone explain why the navy would shoot it down.
The aircraft in question was the most reliable workhorse in every airline.
Some hot day in Atlanta caused crazy stuff to happen in a middle fuel tank? Please. Never happened before, nothing even similar to it ever happened afterward.
And I believe part of the cover-up involved giving Boeing a government contract for an upcoming warplane - a nice little bribe to insure their silence.
don’t forget the BOOM aftermath:
CIA video showed a computer animation of a Boeing 747 losing its nose section and then continuing to climb 3000 - 4000feet before falling out of the sky.
On any given day I have 160+/- gallons of Jet A. Wires in my fuel tanks, I’m not worried. It does not burn with a match - it’s like diesel.

There was only 50 gallons of fuel in the center tank of TWA 800, and the vapor was determined to be flammable at the time of the accident.
