No doubt this is what happened to TWA800. That was during the Clinton years and Boeing got blamed for bad wiring around gas tanks. Anything but calling it Islamofascist terrorism during the 1996 election year.
This is probably the same kind of attack except this time it failed.

Do you know:
Where was the plane at the time?
How close was the rocket to the plane?

if it were fired upon by a handheld sam then the shooter was a crappy shot... most are pretty much point lock and shoot... and since airliners don't have the manuevarablility or anti missile devices. I don't see how it could have avoided a well aimed shot.

Government will say it was a shoot star or some one was firing off fire crackers.
I agree with the person who posted TWA was shot down by missle.

Pretty quiet so far, but imo, it wouldn't be the first time.

Sounds like a union member was pissed about the America West/US Airways merger.

There is no point of having an UNVERIFIED RUMOR in News.
This is just fearmongering.
