The Probable Cause: Take 2

1996, Long Island, New York. TWA #800, a Boeing 747, is climbing out of JFK on the start of its overnight journey to Paris when something goes suddenly and catastrophically wrong. The airliner plunges into the Atlantic killing all 230 souls aboard. The official NTSB explanation of the probable cause: the explosion of the empty centerline fuel tank. A lot of people never believed it, including me. Now the case is taking a new twist.

Investigators from the original NTSB team and other aviation experts are asking the NTSB to re-open the original investigation on the grounds that the books were cooked the first time around. They are flat out saying that the original conclusion was falsified and that the evidence is that the plane was hit with two explosive ordinance detonations and this was the cause of its demise.

Very credible witnesses saw a Navy cruiser operating close to shore in the Long Island area that day and also saw what appeared to be missile launches that evening. One of the witnesses was a Navy helicopter pilot on another commercial flight in the area who was very familiar with anti-aircraft missile launches and who testified that is what he saw. One scenario that aviation experts believe may have happened is that jihadists were in a small private jet that was going to ram an airliner coming out of Kennedy. U.S. intelligence got wind of the plot and the Pentagon moved the Navy cruiser in shore to deal with it. When it actually transpired, the cruiser shot 2 missiles with one hitting the bad guys and the other inadvertently taking out the TWA 747.

Is that something worthy of a cover-up? You betcha, especially when you may recall that there was a Presidential election in November of that year. Stay tuned - this could get interesting. I hope that the truth finally comes out for the families of all those who perished on the flight.
