So why did our government shoot down one of our own planes? Someone on board they didn't like??
Thoughts?? |
|
|
I don't think the government shot it down. At least not on purpose, could have been an accident, but that requires a lot of people keeping a big secret. Could have been a terrorist that got hold of something more substantial than a manpad and the ability to launch from sea.
The only thing I believe for certain is that the official explanation is not the truth and that it was a missile. |

This has been done to death. I've never heard it suggested that our government wanted to shoot down TWA800.
That troofer shit didn't emerge until after 2001. The fact that YOU are suggesting it, means that you are probably trolling. What was this documentary you watched? Put your thinking cap on and try to think rationally: Who had a motive? Who had the ability? |

And another thread passes where I lament the lack of a tinfoil smiley.

GD had a lengthy discussion about this around 4 or 5 months ago I think it was. It's an interesting read if you can find it in the archives.

I would also have accepted "Libertarian vs Conservative: Who's the real hope for America?" or "Hey! Has anyone heard of the Sig Braces? Does this make my AR pistol into an SBR?" Close runner ups would have been anything about implementing a draft or "Cops shoot [something] because [something]" |

Going from "there was something very strange about the crash of TWA 800" to "our government shot down one of our planes" is going from zero to sixty pretty fast.
I do not believe our government could ever successfully cover something like that up, even if it were an "accident." I do, however, believe that an act of terrorism by foreign agents that might have led to embarrassment of Bill Clinton over his foreign policy may very well have been covered up through "steering" and stage-managing the investigation to a pre-determined "official" conclusion. Oh, but wait... ...on second thought, no. Our government attempting to tamper with an investigation? Nahh, something like that could never happen. |

There was another one a couple years prior as well. It's always the same thing: Every aviation professional agrees that the official story is a lie.
Three or four people incessantly chime in to say "I was in the NAVY, it couldn't have been a Manpad". Basically, every thread serves only to provide this same cast of characters a forum in which to say "I was in the NAVY". And "Manpad, Manpad". - It's like the John Kerry campaign, but with more Manpad. We don't know exactly what caused it, and likely, we never will. |

One of the characters in that drama you posted is John Beale. Name seemed familiar: Wiki on the Beale papers and secret treasure |

The official 'explanation', which disregards the evidence by all accounts, is a spark from where no sufficient voltage source exists that ignited fuel vapors in a sealed tank.
They called it a once in fifty years incident. I generally hate conspiracy theories but this one seems to have legs. Ok.... |

Common GD response:" I totally do NOT believe the gubberment unless its an official explanation for some odd or unusual event."

yeah, .gov does an excellent job at inquiries.
so I guess they didn't know we had a mole with usama before 9.11 till an fbi dude sued. hey, if a .gov fella is talking, they are 98% lying. |

The only thing I know for sure about TWA 800, is that we the people will never know for sure what happened to it.

I'd rather us have a thread on the whether or not some 9/11 hijackers got their flight training at NAS Pensacola by posing as or actually being Saudi AF.

TWA-800's wreckage has been on display and been a training tool since the accident.
Why hasn't there been any statements, from the thousands of people who have trained on her wreckage, that there was a missile hit? (Because there wasn't one...) |

I'll just leave this can of gas here.
The Secretary of State can speak from the State Department, the president from wherever he is, and they’ll have this capability for video conferencing throughout this crisis. In my time at the White House it was used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, in the aftermath of the TWA Flight 800 bombing, and that would be the way they would stay in contact through the afternoon.” George Stephanopoulos TXL |

Ponder this:
There were TWO main center fuel tanks on flight 800. One was empty???!!! Aside from "MINOR" weight and balance considerations, one must ponder whether sufficient fuel was on board to make the destination with required reserve.... Strange how simple facts can be ignored for so long. |

I gauge the merit of other members solely based off of if they're retarded enough to start your typical Sandy Hook, Flight 800, Chemtrail, 9/11 type conspiracy theory threads. Posting that type of shit to this site does infinitely more damage to the ARF community than your run of the mill non paying member. . . but I guess someone would have to be pretty fucking stupid if they didn't already know that |

It was not a missile. I work on fuel quantity systems for a living, and have no trouble accepting the official explanation. I would believe credible evidence that it was a bomb, but there is no fucking way it was a missile.
