"Lopatkiewicz said the tape would be made public when we the NTSB opens the case docket, which is now scheduled for October."

By that time, they'll have had plenty of opportunity to doctor the tape.

From a stationary camera, even an infant could paint out an airborne missile with a copy of photoshop.

What's so secret about the tape? Shoe bomb? Might interfere with American Airlines demand that passengers be searched less?

You know, if there was only one plane involved with the 9/11 attack, and it slammed into one of the WTC towers, today we would still be hearing about what a terrible accident it was.

Just like Flight 800.

And just like Flight 587.

More than 300 eyewitnesses saw an ascending streak of fire (as in flare or missile) before the explosion of TWA 800. The FBI said they were all mistaken.

I never used to believe in conspiracy's for the sake of "keeping us calm" because it seems so stupid. But after all the recent hype over a movie (sum of all fears) I am beginning to wonder.

You know, the only people who would run around like headless chickens are the same ones who refused to listen to the warnings and believe this could happen in the first place.

Maybe we should all conspire and lie to them so they will shut up and stop whining already. It's beginning to wear thin.

You know, airplanes do just crash by accident sometimes.

Since the engines of this flight were ripped off before the crash by presumably g-loads and gyroscopic forces, it would kind of make sense that there was a fire in the vicinity of the ripped off fuel lines.

Duh.

There are so many reasons why this crash IS NOT a terrorist action. And why it would be obvious if it were.

Someone please explain to me how you get the horizontal stablizer to depart the airplane, leaving its attach bolts in place, by some kind of terrorist action. And at the same time, leave no cut marks on the attach point stubs left behind.

Come on people. If this thing had happened in Los Angeles, no one would have thought anything about it.

Now flight 800, that's another story. And it was Bill Clinton's presidency, right before the Olympics. Plenty of reason to cover something up.

I still think there's a big difference between TWA 800 and AA 587. TWA 800 was almost certainly brought down by a missile. The published evidence is overwhelming. There have been no such smoking guns with AA 587. It could have been sabotage, but the witnesses didn't see any signs of a missile, and unlike that fishy center fuel tank story, there was considerable evidence of funny business at the French assembly plant, with prior delamination of the vertical tail assembly and a jury-rigged repair.

In other words, on the evidence so far, one case was a coverup and the other is still a mystery.

Bump!

You always have the BEST posts, thanks!

I still think terrorism was involved. I will never believe otherwise!
