TWA Flight 800 investigators break silence in new documentary, claim original conclusion about caus

The front does appear to have a radome... just sayin...

Nice find

That "cruise missile" is headed the wrong direction to shoot an aircraft down. Cruise missiles aren't even used against aircraft. They are for long range ground based strikes. Even if that is a missile it's headed towards the ground, notice the light area being upwards, that would be the rocket exhaust which would point the warhead down so it would be descending not ascending.

You couldn't even see a radome in that image. You can't even see anything other than a dark blur with a lighter area on the end. Radome's aren't big on missiles and you wouldn't be able to spot it at that range.

I never said it was cruise missile. But, it is ascending from left to right. The white is the radome. They are ceramic and very white. The exhaust at that distance, however, would be impossible to see.

I like how you edited the quote to leave out the fact that three other aircraft were all hit by similar missiles, and not only turned around and landed safely, they were all returned to service within a few months. But somehow this particular plane was hit by a magic Hollywood missile that shattered it into pieces.

They are not similar.
That is why I could edit it out because you are throwing trash to confuse people.

They are large aircraft hit by missiles. How are they not similar? Because they landed, and TWA 800 didn't?

I'm really curious how a missile designed to track on heat sources, with less than 10 pounds of explosives is going to cause a 747 to break into 5 pieces like this.

Dunno, what exactly does this here thermal imaging video prove? Help please? Oh and this video is not cut like the one released via the freedom of information act.

Stunning new video of Flight 800 crash site

What we concluded, in fact, is that this extraordinary video has the potential to break the TWA Flight 800 case wide open.

The video had been shot from a U.S. Navy P-3 Orion that had been flying almost directly above TWA Flight 800 when it exploded off the coast of Long Island on the night of July 17, 1996. For the record, the P-3 is a long-range, antisubmarine warfare patrol aircraft with advanced submarine detection and avionics equipment.

Oh wait here it is, there was a second burning object that the cameraman was focusing on.

In the new unedited version, however, the cameraman does not stay with the known debris field. In each of the two short sections, on five separate occasions, he pans the camera about three miles off to the northwest, back towards JFK where TWA Flight originated, and focuses on another burning object.

The French claimed it was a cruise missile. Cruise missiles aren't designed for anti-air. They're designed to attack land (and for a time sea) targets. They also tend to fly fairly low to try to dodge radar systems. They arch up on launch, then dive back down to a couple hundred feet. They don't get anywhere near the altitude that 800 was at usually.

Most importantly, they state the NTSB forced a gag order on them and falsified the report... Does that sound familiar? Well how many of these kill orders have been followed through ala Wellstone? Have the PTW been using planes for assassinations all along like the website Able Danger has been stating.. Were drones used?

As the NTSB is compromised as an investigative body, honest people must come forward and replace these criminals..

It sounds like a piece of the aircraft that was on fire separated and landed away from the rest of the crash site. It almost certainly wouldn't be a piece of missile, as it would have been consumed in the blast.

Really? You would see the radome but not the exhaust?

That "missile" would be shortly after launch, look at all the images at the image search and tell me you see the radome's and no exhaust.

Here is some reading from the CIA on the crash. It is a PDF file. And you can't get any better version of events.

The Crash of TWA Flight 800 - CIA

The crash of TWA Flight 800,
potentially one of the most lethal
international terrorist acts ever
perpetrated against the United
States, touched off the most
extensive, complex, and costly air
disaster investigation in US history.

Oh and I have some other evidence I am seeking... Wish me luck![

Oh and here is the PDF file to the entire investigation that spans many years.

This is an old story but it was an interesting and shocking case. I believe there were some Naval exercises going on in the area and one of their missiles got away from them. I recall this being a case of "friendly fire" that no one wanted to fess up to.

I was living on Long Island at the time and recall many witnesses who swore they saw some kind of missiles heading upward TOWARDS the plane.Claimed by FBI and NTSB to have been misidentified heading towards earth.It took months aren't by the exploding fume vapors theory is still contended.

This isn't my next evidence but it is kewl... Trans World Airlines - TWA Flight 800 - ATC Recordings

Still not what I am looking for but here is the contents of a fax someone got.

FW: TWA Flight 800: Death by Misfire ? (fwd)

When I was living in Michigan I met a New Yorker who told me that on that day he was at the top of one of the twin towers with binoculars and watched the missile zoom up and hit the plane. I wish I'd asked him if he tried to approach the authorities with his testimony but it didn't occur to me at the time. I wonder how many other people in the towers saw what he saw? Strangely but probably just coincidentally he along with other family members was badly injured in a local car accident. This was about 2003. I don't remember learning if he recovered or not.

Really ironic that he viewed the downing of flight 800 from the twin towers.

There is no such thing as an "Aegis missile" - that's a pretty glaring error right there!

And here is a closeup of the missile:

That's a closeup of a smudge and a blur - how anyone can positively state it is a missile is beyond rationality!

Oh and it wasn't suppressed in the US either - see this NYT story August 26 1996 - it was broadcast on "Hard Copy", and then apparently the Kabots sought to sell it to the highest bidder - maybe that was the French?

I was gonna say that as well, isn't Aegis a class of ship? I'm not as well versed in ships as I am planes and weapons systems. For some reason they never really struck my fancy with the exception of ACCs and Subs even those I'm not great on classes other than the Nimitz class ACC.
