People at a beach party on Long Island had photos of a missile streaking up to the plane.
The cameras and film were confiscated by the FBI. That tells you what you need to know.
The MSM labeled people believing that it was shot down as nut cases.
Stop believing the government and the MSM.

Apparently its to do with very powerful computers for the radars being based in new jersey, so they had to be near by.
And the point of the exercise was to pick out something like a hijacked plane in a crowded air space.
Aside from military exercises, a National Reconnaissance Office drill was being conducted on September 11, 2001. In a simulated event, a small aircraft would crash into one of the towers of the agency's headquarters after experiencing a mechanical failure. The NRO is the branch of the Department of Defense in charge of spy satellites. According to its spokesman Art Haubold: "No actual plane was to be involved -- to simulate the damage from the crash, some stairwells and exits were to be closed off, forcing employees to find other ways to evacuate the building." He further explained: "It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to involve an aircraft crashing into our facility, as soon as the real world events began, we canceled the exercise." Most of the agency's personnel were sent home after the attacks.

I always love how people who immediately eschew conspiracies and conspiracy theorists always fall back to:" There's now way that many people could stay silent." Evidently there is.

Why would the navy test new anti aircraft missile systems in crowded commercial airspace?

TWA 800 could have happened because of simple human error on a Ticonderoga Class (not Aegis) cruiser.
