How does a jet liner with no nose and it's center of gravity completely out of whack still manage to climb?? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
I was working for TWA at the time and I believe the official story. Too much to type, but the short version is that the center tank blew....decapitating the 747...throwing the center of gravity way off. The headless jet continues to climb (smoke trail) until it finally exploded. How does a jet liner with no nose and it's center of gravity completely out of whack still manage to climb?? A jet with the nose broken off is pretty much guaranteed to climb as long as the engines continue to operate given that it's center of gravity would have shifted well back from normal. It will climb until the engines stop, it stalls, or a structural failure occurs. |

Quoted:
I have a difficult time believing that there was a mass hallucination moments before the aircraft decided it should transform into fire. I'd like to see the DSP data for the event. It would at least put the missile debate to bed. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable. That was a key point taught in both of my Aircraft Accident Investigation courses. If you see a flash of light out on the horizon (TWA800 was at 15K feet and about 10 miles offshore at the time of the explosion) and then you hear the distant sound of the explosion a minute later, the flash coming from the wreckage vs. going towards it would be easy to confuse in the aftermath. But by a pilot that was at equal altitude a few miles away? Have you seen the photos of the reconstructed wreckage? If you can look at that and say it looks like an external explosion caused the CWT explosion then you have a better imagination than I do. |

I know TWA mx. That airplane didn't "just blow up".
Don't know what killed them but a lot of good men know and were intimidated by the .gov into shutting up. Riddle me this: American Airlines has been slamming airplanes in the ground for most of the '90's and early '00's. USAir did too. How often, after a crash, did the CEO (Crandall, Carty, Schofield or Wolf) end up getting a private jet ride to D.C. to meet privately with the sitting President? The answer would be...ZERO. How many times after TWA slammed a plane into the ground (only once since 1974, Flt. 800) did this happen? ONCE. 100% vs. 0%. Hummm.... TC |

hundreds of people say they saw an object with a smoke trail and an orange glow on the top leave the surface of the water rise and hit the airplane. The official narrative is that people saw the aircraft when the nose came off climb 3,000 feet while on fire trailing smoke, not a missile. now let us do the math aircraft was about 12 miles off the coast, most witnesses were on the land. Jet was at 13,000 when it happened and without the nose flew up to 16,000 feet. using the 60 to 1 rule, where at 60 miles every degree of angle equals 1 mile at 12 miles every mile is 5 degrees of angle. using the 6000 feet to every nautical mile at 13,000 feet which is about 2.2 NM, that equates to the jet being about 11 degrees above the horizon as viewed from the beach 12 nm away. It climbed 3,000 feet, which at 12 nm is 2.5 degrees of climb as viewed from the beach. So do you really think hundreds of eyewitnesses saw angular movement of 2.5 degrees from 11 degrees above the horizon to 13.5 degrees above the horizon and describe it as leaving the surface and hitting the jet? Do you think your eye could even see 2.5 degrees of movement? |

Because losing the nose of the aircraft seriously shifts the center of gravity back, causing the remaining section of the aircraft to pitch up. Since it is going pretty fast, momentum is going to cause it to climb before it stalls out. |

ibtl Has this become a taboo subject and if so how did I miss it. It's been beaten to death a few thousand times over. I spend quite a bit of time here but obviously not as much as you as I don't recall one single thread about this yet alone some of the epic ones that have been aluded to. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they haven't occurred. |

It was a missile. No doubt in my mind. What kind of missile? Fired by whom? For what purpose? If not fired by the U.S., what is the purpose of the cover up? Fuck I don't know, just talking shit. If I had to guess, I'd say shoulder fired SAM fired by hadjis, and covered up to not scare the sheep away from airports. TWA 800 was out of the WEZ of any MANPAD system. Not really. It was right at the advertised Stinger effective range. Who knows what the actual classified effective range is. |

I was working for TWA at the time and I believe the official story. Too much to type, but the short version is that the center tank blew....decapitating the 747...throwing the center of gravity way off. The headless jet continues to climb (smoke trail) until it finally exploded. How does a jet liner with no nose and it's center of gravity completely out of whack still manage to climb?? By all accounts, the four engines were still operational and producing climb power. The wing would still have been producing lift.....and with the CG now moved so far aft, the thing would/could have been racing upwards till it exploded. Actually it should have kept arcing with nothing to control the rate of turn. Yet cia says that did not happen. Arcing? I thought they were wings level and climbing at the time of the explosion. Maybe you're right. |

either way, the official narative is bullshit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

hundreds of people say they saw an object with a smoke trail and an orange glow on the top leave the surface of the water rise and hit the airplane. The official narrative is that people saw the aircraft when the nose came off climb 3,000 feet while on fire trailing smoke, not a missile. now let us do the math aircraft was about 12 miles off the coast, most witnesses were on the land. Jet was at 13,000 when it happened and without the nose flew up to 16,000 feet. using the 60 to 1 rule, where at 60 miles every degree of angle equals 1 mile at 12 miles every mile is 5 degrees of angle. using the 6000 feet to every nautical mile at 13,000 feet which is about 2.2 NM, that equates to the jet being about 11 degrees above the horizon as viewed from the beach 12 nm away. It climbed 3,000 feet, which at 12 nm is 2.5 degrees of climb as viewed from the beach. So do you really think hundreds of eyewitnesses saw angular movement of 2.5 degrees from 11 degrees above the horizon to 13.5 degrees above the horizon and describe it as leaving the surface and hitting the jet? Do you think your eye could even see 2.5 degrees of movement? Those same witnesses also generally reported that they saw the missile hit and heard the detonation at the moment of impact. Small problem with that testimony. Give their position and the distance to the aircraft and the speed of sound, they would have heard the detonation a full minute after the supposed missile hit the aircraft. So, they are confused in some manner. We can suggest that they actually turned to look at the aircraft only after they heard the explosion, in which case they would have seen the aftermath of an explosion that had occurred 60 seconds earlier, in which case the debris trails falling away could have easily been misinterpreted as missile tracks rising upward. either way, the official narative is bullshit. Based on his proven expertise as a military pilot, I think Mach's opinion carries more weight than anyone else in this thread (myself included). I agree 100% the official narrative is a whitewash. |

View Quote People are always looking for a reason as to why, and the absence of one means some other explanation. I thought I had a pretty rounded knowledge about things but I never heard about this: LaGuardia So. if they don't know who or why did it mean it didn't happen? |

Maybe you're right. The CIA report says the wings were level and climbing but the drastic change in CG would cause the craft to begin a backwards loop. So yes it would Climb, but not just a set number of degrees and then continue, the weight that pulls the tail down would be constantly below the lift of the wings causing the craft to loop backwards. Test it on any styrofoam model you choose, put just a little too much weight aft of the CG and when thrust is applied the craft reverse loops. Every time. |

If the report doesn't match the reality, that's a coverup. If you think the report intentionally does not accurately reflect what happened with TWA or Sandy Hook you must, by definition, believe there was a coverup. View Quote Not exactly. A cover up is a story with intent to hide and omit information. These goals are required. |
