What did Kerry know, and when did he know it? (TWA Flight 800)

What about that Egyptian pilot who flew his plane nose-first into the water ? Could that have been a thwarted act of terrorism?

Of course, the story we were fed was that he was upset that his girlfriend dumped him and this was his way of committing suicide. I never bought that story because the flight recorder taped his last words as being something like, "Allah be praised". Or whatever phrase they use.

Biggest coverup in a decade BUMP!

[faithincowboys]

wow--this is huge. somebody better send this to limbaugh or hannity. this needs maximum exposure. gore getting out because of this is probably true. gore knew that the dnc didn't want him and that they (and their media hacks) would destroy gore. his last hope is 2008, he hopes 9-11 will be a non-factor in that election.(good luck, albert!)

*** mr. john f. kerry has much explaining to do.

[faithincowboys]

more terrorist threats than we realized on Bubba's ignoble record. god, his smug face (always spewing advice not worth a turd) makes me want to puke!!! do you think anybody will ask bubba about this...never. the liberal media will bury it--no surprise there. when is the toxic clinton government in exile gonna finally get theirs.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again: An on-board bomb (first shoe bomb?) or a surface to air missle brought TWA-800 down, not a spontaneous center fuel cell explosion.

There is just nowayinhell a fuel cell is going to explode without a primary incendiary event trigger.

I believe it was done by Muslim terrorists. I further believe that the Clintoon administration suppressed that evidence because had it become known that the Clintoon gang had no clue about what to do with terrorist activity in the US, they would have not won the election in Nov.

And winning re-election is all that miserable low-life sonofabitch cared about, that and sex.

What you have just said is not a theory to anyone with an ounce of rationality, it's an axiom.

"Allah be praised"... to me, this would sound similar to a Christian saying, right before a crash, "Jesus, help me!" Now, you could read this meaning into that... "Help me, because I am scared, I just made a horrific mistake, the plane is going to crash, and I am going to die." Praising Allah, doesn't mean you are necessarily guilty of anything. And to me, it would be the most natural thing to say under the circumstances.

I believe it was "I put my fate in Gods hands" wasnt that plane full of Isreali army officials or something, there was something odd going on there. I dont buy the girlfriend story either. I think there was an Al Qeda connection to that pilot. It is odd though that you never hear of that story, it died very quickly.

True. On the other hand, he could've flown the plane into the water on purpose. Hard as it may to be to believe, terrorists have been known to do such things.

[Husker24]

That may be true but, the guy pushed the elevator controls down right after he said that, then they heard the voice of the copilot saying something like, "what the hell are you doing" its pretty clear the guy did it intentionaly.

I agree on the shoe bomb. There was just enough residue on the seats to be detected. During the trial of Reid, the shoe bomber, the prosecution blew up a 747 with a shoe bomb. I also said after 9/11 that the downing of Egyptian Air was a test for the hijackers and the person at the controls was not a crew mmber.

[spyone]

Intersting...the first shoe bomb...some freeper here a month or two ago advised me that an Islamic terrorist group did, in fact, claim credit for TWA800. The press, or couse, ignored it, not wanting to lose a chance for an invitation to a state dinner at the CLINTON WHITE HOUSE.

[Alberta's Child]

There have been some extensive discussions on FR about TWA Flight 800, and after all of the evidence I've seen I concluded that the aircraft WAS shot down, but not by terrorists. The most likely culprit appears to be a U.S. Navy ship that was taking part in live-fire exercises off the coast of Long Island that night.

[motexva]

The copilot shouted at the pilot to "work with him" ie, stop trying to push the controls down while he was trying to pull up. I always felt the copilot must have thought it was a malfunction, right up to the end, but it's clear the pilot deliberately crashed the plane. I hadn't thought about that since long before 9-11, now it seems like this must have been an act of terrorism, not just some kook who wanted to take a bunch of people with him when he checked out.

[glocker23]

You bring up an interesting point about the prosecution in the Reid case releasing the video of a shoe bomb exploding in a 747. The only problem is that the video was not shot specifically for this case, it was done years earlier.
So, why would the government run an experiment about shoe bombs on 747s without it ever happening before? God knows there are plenty of terrorist scenario's possible and of course they don't test them all just to see what would happen. So maybe that experiment was testing the very plausible hypothesis of a shoe bomb bringing down Flight 800... Ok, I'll take off my tin hat now:)

[Husker24]

Mabey it was Egyption. It was Egyption or Isreali. It shouldnt be to hard to find out.
