POLL: Was TWA Flight 800 Downed by Mechanical Failure or a Missile?

While on vacation in Greece last week, I read the page-turner, "Night Fall" by Nelson Demille. The book is about 580 pages in length, and I finished it in a few short hours. While the book itself is fictional, Demille conducted a lot of research into the crash of TWA Flight 800 and used his findings as a backdrop for the fictional plot. It's definitely a book for conspiracy theorists.

Anyway, the book got me thiking. I truly believe that TWA Flight 800 was NOT downed by mechanical failure and that the true nature of the crash was covered up by both the FBI and CIA (Clinton Administration prior to the 1996 Olympics). Was it an act of terrorism? Was it a military exercise gone horribly wrong?

Here are two web sites dedicated to finding the truth:

TWA Flight 800: What Really Happened
 
I believe two other planes have gone down in that area at about the same time.

EgyptAir 990 (I think) ended up taking off at the same time on the same day of the week and crashed in the same area.
 
While I don't really have an opinoon on what took down TWA 800. I will say that the book was a great read, although the ending while also great, didn't surprise me at all. Like i said it was a great way to end the book, an others I have talked to said they couldn't believe it. But I somehow saw it coming less then half way through the book.
 
from what i understand, that plane blew up in midair. if it had been hit with a stinger, it wouldn't have blown up like that. stingers wouldn't do that type of damage to an aircraft that size. It might have caused it to crash, but i don't think it would cause it to explode into pieces.

I sadly guessed the ending half-way through 🙁
 
My friend who actually isn't much of a liar said he was on a bus nearby when that happened and he saw something creep up to the plane and that it couldn't possibly have been eminating from the plane itself..which only leads me to believe that it was an American Military Missle, an AMM.

Why would the NTSB, FAA, FBI, or anyone else cover it up?

Because when anything bad happens in the world, the US government (or the jews, or the neocons, take your pick) secrectly orchestrate it and then blame others or (as in this case) just cover it up for the practice :roll: (the roll is for GT, not Mill)

was your friend on shrooms at the time?
 
In my educated opinion the NTSB conclusion was valid. And beyond that doesnt it hold true that the most resonable explanation is the right one? I dont think a big conspiracy is very resonable. The NTSB explanation covered what looked like a missile.

I'm going to hell in a handbasket for laughing at this.

Well, why aren't Boeing aircraft just exploding willy-nilly all over the countryside if they have a center fuel tank problem ?

A spent propultion rocket missing the engine and striking the center fuselage would do the same thing.
Jet fuel is quite hard to ignight, unless it has been mixed into a combustible aerosol dispersion. How does that happen in a closed cell ?

The CIA's video clearly shows why so many thought a missile hit the plane. The plane itself was on fire after the separation of the nose and shot up thousands of feet then exploded. This would have looked like a missile hitting something from the ground.

The problem with the eye witnesses is they never saw the "plane" they only saw the "missile" which was, in fact, the plane itself.

Once you realize that eye witnesses are notoriously unreliable, and had NO idea what they were looking at, the CIA's video animation of the crash and NTSB's explanation makes perfect sense.
