Movies and TV TWA Flight 800 Investigators Claim the Official Crash Story Is a Lie - Page 6

Stewie · 06-19-2013, 07:47 AM

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.

Well I guess crazy beliefs without any evidence really are a form of religion. So maybe that's why I don't like them. I kinda like to know actual facts, and that dicey evidence stuff. You know some proof.

Do you think retired experts who worked on the original reports aren't credible? Really? If you witnessed some sort of spectacular event, and suddenly people in the government claimed it didn't happen, would people view you as credible?

It would be wonderful if Spielberg happened to have an entire film crew in the area at the time a missile happens to down a jetliner, but sadly, it's usually some nobody with a cameraphone that happens to be in the wrong place at the right time.

But hey, this is all made up, right? I'm actually a Soviet spy, here to test your loyalty.

I think you were on the beach that day and downed the jet with a massive estrogen blast from your giant, gaping vag.

How do you live with yourself?

It's not so much that it's from a camera phone, it's that they use that video with some sort of whackjob narration and story telling in a really poorly done documentary that makes it suspect.

If the conspiracy theorists (the people that think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy) weren't involved, the story would actually be much more credible. I don't think they realize that they actually hurt their own cause.

I'm sure there's a little girl somewhere praying for the speedy recovery of her sick puppy. If you hurry, you can find her, strangle the puppy in front of her and then tell her that there is no God.

This was a segment on a local sports talk show here in DC this morning.

I thought it was a fairly interesting listen:

Interesting. So, the NTSB was denied access to witnesses by the FBI. For some reason the FBI was in control of much of the investigation which has never happened before or since.

There is no evidence that it was the fuel tank. There is only 20% of the fuel tank reassembled even though the head of the FBI says it's all there. Apparently, he's never actually seen the fuel tank.

A "proximity" explosion (missile) was the focus for months until things changed. There is evidence of shrapnel penetrating the fuselage and nitrates found inside the cabin, even the FBI labs confirmed that.

Will watch the movie.
