A group of whistle-blowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago.
However, the six whistle-blowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down.
Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996, en route to Paris when it exploded and crashed off the coast of nearby East Moriches, Long Island, killing everyone on the plane.
“..This team of investigators who actually handled the wreckage and victims’ bodies, prove that the officially proposed fuel-air explosion did not cause the crash,” reads a statement by the producers of the film, which will debut on cable network EPIX next month. “They also provide radar and forensic evidence proving that one or more ordnance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash.” However, the statement said they did not speculate about the source or sources of any ordnance explosions.
The whistle-blower team, which includes investigators -- at the time -- from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), TWA, and the Airline Pilots Association, have since retired from their positions. They claim that at the time, they were placed under a gag order by the NTSB, which they charged falsified the official conclusion of the cause of the crash. They indicated they would elaborate more in a Wednesday media briefing.
The NTSB report, the culmination of a four-year investigation, suggested the cause of the explosion was due to an explosion in the gas tank caused by a short circuit.
With conspiracy theories immediately swirling around the crash -- one being that it was caused by a terrorist missile strike -- the FBI conducted a 16-month investigation and concluded that there was no evidence to indicate that any criminal act occurred.

We knew it was anti-missile missiles back in the 90's.
Mitch,
I saw that – this is what I have been saying for a long time.
Former FBI SAIC Kallstrom is still insisting that there is no evidence of a missile – he is lying. I was on Andrea Shea King’s talk show with Jack Cashill who wrote “First Strike - The Downing of TWA Flight 800” when an independent private investigator called in – he had photos of damage to the elevator jackscrew in the tail of the 747 in TWO places – this means at least two missiles hit the airplane, and at the opposite end of the 747 from the center fuel tank located just aft of and below the cockpit.
Here is a link to an article I wrote – go to the link for the audio of Major Fritz Meyer’s description of what he saw from the cockpit of his Blackhawk helicopter on the night of 7/17/96 – he is a Long Island attorney and a former naval aviator in Vietnam. After listening to him you can have no doubt that TWA 800 was brought down by a missile, and that the TWA 800 accident investigation was a fraud engineered by the Clintons.
On the night of the crash, the Clintons were holed up in their private quarters in the White House with National Security Advisor Sandy Berger. Shortly thereafter control of the investigation was taken away from the independent NTSB and turned over to the FBI under the control of the White House. This is unprecedented in aviation history. This is all covered in Jack Cashill’s book “First Strike – The Downing of TWA Flight 800 and the Attack on America” and in his other book “Ron Brown’s Body” which describes the Clinton treason involving selling of national security intelligence to the Chinese government in return for bags of cash to fix the 1996 election.
I had one co-pilot who had been in charge of B-747 flight engineer training at the time of the crash. He told me in person sitting opposite me in the cockpit that he had been deposed by attorneys for families of the crash victims, and had been briefed by the TWA attorneys that they knew it was a missile, but to not mention that in the deposition, but only to answer the questions about TWA flight engineer training procedures for 747 fuel management.
I had another co-pilot who was a USAF Reserve C-141 pilot at McGuire AFB in New Jersey. He told me in person that he had a squadron mate at McGuire who worked for the FAA. He saw this guy the weekend after the TWA 800 crash, and the FAA guy said it was a missile and that the FAA had radar tapes proving that. After the investigation was turned over to the FBI and the missile theory was squashed, the same FAA guy denied that he had ever said anything about a missile. And those radar tapes disappeared, never to be seen again.
There is much, much more that is completely implausible about the conclusions in the official accident report.
So you tell me what a reasonable person would conclude.

I wonder!....WHO??? Was on board that jet when it was sot down??? Must have been "Someone" the FBI and CIA wanted "Out-of-the-Way". THEY don't do horrors like this without a REASON....OR, was this some kind of test of a new weapons system, at the expense of over 400 American citizens lives??? Probably BOTH!
