Mover, the Inspectors who were on the boats, and on the floor of the hanger, told me that they were told to keep their mouths shut about what they saw, or hey would end up in Leavenworth. If in fact this was a coverup, which I still think it was, it only could have been pulled off by direction from the highest office.------- Now you wanted names? You fill in the blanks!MetalMover said:The conspiracy theorists believe that all those sailors or anyone else in the know were threatened not to speak about it...
Not ONE pf them has a conscience or the moral obligation to come forward.
All they need to do is to walk into any major TV News Network ask for the well known anchorman or anchorwoman,,,,,Then go before hundreds of millions of people and tell the world he or she was involved in the missile launch and TELL THE NATION AND THE WORLD WHAT HAPPENED AND WHO EXACTLY THREATENED HIM/HER AND THEIR FAMILIES!!! TELL THE WORLD......NAME F###ING NAMES AS TO WHO THREATENED THEM....
But no, the conspiracy theorists only want to focus on the missile and NOT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.
No takers I guess.
The likely speculation is, of course, that the U.S. military committed this crime. Was someone on the plane targeted for murder, and everyone else killed in the process? Was this a test of technology? Was it a mistake? Was it part of some larger plot that failed to develop? I don’t know.
If the U.S. military blew up a passenger jet full of passengers, including U.S. citizens, for no damn good reason, wouldn’t we need an explanation for its wanting to go public with that? Doesn’t the military’s wanting to keep that quiet require no explanation at all? When the Joint Special Operations Command murders Afghan women in a night raid and then digs bullets out of their bodies with knives and claims that they were killed by their families, and then later admits the truth, are we shocked by the routine lies or by the vicious crime? Wouldn’t we be more seriously shocked if the U.S. military gratuitously blurted out something true? Wouldn’t taking responsibility for TWA 800 be a remarkable act of civic virtue worthy of the record books?

This is all about former TWA employees who refuse to believe that nothing BUT a missile brought the plane down. They Google all the conspiracy theory reports and articles and cherry pick the ones that suit their position, but do NOT Google the fuel tank explosion reports.Ms Tree said:Just think about that one for a moment. An inspector comes out with proof that the US took out a 747 in a military exercise and the person with the proof ends up in Leavenworth. How do you see that working out for the government?

I'm sorry, but this story has so many holes in it that there is nothing left.
Like the time the NSA claimed to be complying with the Fourth Amendment? Like the time nobody was being tortured in Iraq? Like the time the fracking studies showed no damage to ground water? Like the time drones weren’t killing any civilians with their missile strikes?delldude said:The Missiles That Brought Down TWA Flight 800

If the U.S. public began to raise a fuss about U.S. missile strikes that blow up large numbers of civilians at wedding parties abroad, it’s not beyond the realm of the imaginable that the U.S. government would begin blaming the explosions on faulty candles in the wedding cakes. A similarly implausible excuse was used to explain the 1996 explosion of TWA flight 800 off Long Island, New York, and the U.S. public has thus far either swallowed the story whole or ignored the matter.
If you watch Kristina Borjesson’s new film, TWA Flight 800, you’ll see a highly persuasive case that this passenger jet full of passengers was brought down by missiles, killing all on board.
A CIA propaganda video aired by U.S. television networks fits with none of the known facts, makes the claim that there were no missiles, and offers no theory as to what then did cause the explosion(s) and crash into the sea.
A coverup by the FBI and the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) was blatant and extensive, involving intimidation of witnesses and investigators, tampering with evidence, false testimony before Congress, censoring reports, and numerous violations of normal protocols. Some of the government’s own official investigators concluded that the explosion(s) occurred outside the airplane. They were not permitted to write analyses in their reports, as in every other investigation. Their reports were censored. They were forbidden to testify. Some 200 eyewitnesses — people on the ground and in other planes, at least many of whom described seeing one or more missiles rising from the ground to the airplane — were censored as well. Not a single witness was permitted to testify at the public hearing.
The military staged a test firing of missiles with witnesses, in an attempt to prove that the witnesses would either not see the missiles or testify inaccurately about what they saw. However, the witnesses all reported seeing the missiles well. The report on this test came to the opposite conclusion of what had been hoped for, but the government fed the original, hoped-for line to the media, which dutifully reported it.
Investigators thought and still think a missile or missiles brought down the plane. Eye-witnesses thought and still think the same. Explosives residue in the plane wreckage and other physical evidence in the wreckage suggests missile(s). Data from several different radars at the time of the disaster show pieces of the plane being blown off at speeds that could only have been generated by high explosives, not by a fuel tank exploding. Radar data also show the plane falling, not rising. (The CIA claimed, without offering any evidence, that the plane rose into the sky as it was exploding, thus accounting for witnesses’ reports of seeing objects rising.) The damage to the seats and passengers in the plane was random, not greater closer to a fuel tank.
No more evidence was ever offered for a fuel tank exploding than could be offered in the theoretical fiction of a wedding cake exploding, or — for that matter — was ever offered for the Maine having been attacked by the Spanish in Havana harbor or for the Gulf of Tonkin incident having occurred or for the WMDs piling up in Iraq, or than has been offered thus far for the dreaded Iranian nuclear bomb program. There was no wiring near the fuel tank that could have caused it to explode and no other explanation than faulty wiring even hypothesized.
The film concludes that likely three missiles were shot from near the Long Island coast, including at least one from a ship at sea. The film does not address the question of who did this or why. But it presents the evidence that it happened, and that the coverup began immediately, with the disaster site being quickly closed off and guarded by roughly 1,000 police officers, roughly half of them FBI — not the normal procedure for a plane crash. The likely speculation is, of course, that the U.S. military committed this crime. Was someone on the plane targeted for murder, and everyone else killed in the process? Was this a test of technology? Was it a mistake? Was it part of some larger plot that failed to develop? I don’t know.
But I do know that the nation didn’t go into a collective state of vicious rabid insanity, demanding vengeance against evildoers who hate us for our freedoms. No nations were destroyed in a sick parody of justice following the destruction of TWA flight 800. But neither were those responsible held publicly accountable in any way.
The New York Times seems impressed by the film and favors a new investigation but laments the supposed lack of any entity that could credibly perform an investigation. Think about that. The U.S. government comes off as so untrustworthy in the film that it can’t be trusted to re-investigate itself. And a leading newspaper, whose job it ought to be to investigate the government, feels at a loss for what to do without a government that can credibly and voluntarily perform the media’s own job for it and hold itself accountable.
The New York Post, too, takes the film quite seriously, and simply recounts its arguments without adding any commentary other than agreement. But the Daily News offers instead a textbook example of how self-censorship and obedience to authoritarianism work. Here’s the complete Daily News review with my comments inserted:
“If you need to get a person’s attention fast, just whisper, ‘There’s something the government isn’t telling you.’
“Works every time.”

Seems like the author is under the impression that those in the military and remorseless killing machines. Do you share the same opinion dell?

Let's get one thing straight here Tree, no one is saying, or implying, that TWA flt. 800 was purposely targeted by the government! What we are saying is that it was shut out of the sky, and that fact was covered up by the Clinton administration for political reasons. Now if that aircraft was blown out of the sky and 230 people killed, by the U.S. Navy, or Ben Ladin, is questionable.As for proof, at this point in time, I don't believe there would be anything that would satisfy you, or the world.Ms Tree said:Just think about that one for a moment.
