TWA Flight 800 Investigators Claim the Official Crash Story Is a Lie
A new film claims the official government report on the crash of TWA Flight 800 in 1996 is an elaborate fabrication, but the most shocking part of the story is that charges are being leveled by some of the very investigators who put the report together. Six experts who appear in the film were members of the National Transportation Safety Board investigation team that concluded the crash was an accident, but they now claim they were silenced by their superiors. The movies, "TWA Flight 800" will debut on EPIX TV next month, on the 17-year anniversary of the crash.
TWA Flight 800 was en route from JFK Airport in New York to Paris, France, when it exploded and crashed off the coast of Long Island, killing all 230 people on board. From the very beginning, there were some who speculated that the plane was the victim of a terrorist attack, leading the FBI to conduct its own criminal investigation. Among the possibilities that were suggested as the cause were a bomb in the cargo hold, or an anti-aircraft missile. Several witnesses even claimed they saw an object or streak of light that looked liked a missile or rocket moving toward the plane before it exploded. The final NTSB reported said that faulty wiring connected to a central fuel tank caused a blast that destroyed the fuesalage, however, there were still many skeptics and conspiracy theorists who have long doubted that official story. In one particularly famous example, Pierre Salinger, a former Press Secretary for President John Kennedy and reporter for ABC News, claimed he'd seen proof that the U.S. Navy shot down the plane and then covered it up. Now, those theories are likely to get a new airing, thanks to accident investigators who worked on the TWA 800 case, but say they were not allowed to speak up at the time of the official report. The experts include NTSB and TWA accident investigators, who say they are only able to speak up now that they are retired. According their statements in the film, they believe the official explanation is wrong and the damage was caused by an explosion that came from outside the plane. The filmmakers won't speculate on what could have caused such an explosion, and haven't yet offered up evidence to support their theory (you'll have to watch on July 17), but they are asking the NTSB to re-open the investigation. Whether or not that happens, or even if a follow-up reaches the same conclusions as the original, this new film will ensure that the alternate theories and claims up a cover will probably never be put to rest. http://news.yahoo.com/twa-flight-800...120157562.html |

Weird I always thought it was public knowledge that a missile took it down.

For everyone that thinks this might be true.

You gotta like the government workers in the story. "This is a massive government conspiracy! It's a cover up! Eh, let's wait until we retire and our pensions roll in before we start whistleblowiing." Justice takes a back seat to a Florida condo.

No, no it was Tyler Bray that threw the ball. Of course it was just a 4 yard dump off to the running back but accuracy is highly overrated. Its all about the arm strength.

The Navy was conducting ground to air missile tests off Long Island. All the commercial flights were supposed to be at 21,000 feet or higher. TWA 800 was at 13,800 feet, because of another commercial aircraft in the area. They had just been given a directive to climb when the plane blew up. I think the Navy accidentally shot it down, and the Govt has wanted to cover that up for whatever reason. That's just what I think.
