The Crash of TWA 800 - Part 1

Encore presentation of the Coast Guard Channel team on location with the crews that helped in the recovery effort following the crash of TWA 800.

A coast guard channel? Ah, the 90s.

I had just turned 19 when this tragedy happened. I was also in Her Majesty’s Coastguard in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. My heart goes out to everyone who attended the scene. By the time I was 19 I’d seen plenty fatalities but thankfully I’d never had to deal with a child under 17. God bless everyone who died, the families, the friends and those who were first responders.

TWA-800 was misidentified by the Navy when it penetrated the southwest perimeter of an active military ordinance training exercise. A retired USAF Brigadier General confirmed it was his armament technology that he had designed and developed for the Air Force and the Navy that brought the plane down. All the 'Air Disaster Investigation' programs even utilized the 'official narrative' in all their programs that covered this event. When the Boeing 747 was first introduced in February of 1969, these planes had a faulty wiring problem in the center fuel tank. However, by the end of the summer of that year, all the wiring was yanked out of those planes and the center fuel tank was redesigned by Boeing. The TWA-800 Boeing plane was built in 1971, therefore, it never had the wiring issue. The Clinton administration including the NTSB, FAA, FBI, and CIA resorted to incorporating the original 1969 wiring issue into the 'official narrative' as propaganda for this crash.... MISSILE THEORY CONFIRMED. I have copy and pasted the fax letter that was sent by retired Brigadier General, Benton K. Partin(1925 - 2019) on October 4, 1996, seven weeks after the TWA incident to the lead TWA-800 investigator in New York.......The fax confirms the missile story and stated as follows: "I did the initial design, development, and test of the first several continuous-rod warheads for the MOMARC missile in the 1956-7 time period. This was done at the Ballistic Research Labs at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. I carried several to Socorro, New Mexico for testing in a special arena nearby. A proximity fused, continuous-rod (CR) missile warhead is the only target destruction system I know that would be consistent with all damage assessment information I have seen in the open media. The destructive mechanism is unique to that type of warhead. You would not see blast or blast-frag damage. Neither would you see residuals from explosives. The instantaneous kill is unique to that warhead type, The CR warhead is the most difficult to perfect even with many design iterations. I would encourage you to have someone reassess the recovered structure who is familiar with the unique structural kill of a CR warhead. If I can be of any help, let me know." .........signed, B.G.,Benton K. Partin(Ret.) This confirms the Clinton Administration cover-up of this accident.

[@jukee67]

Your comment is as close to the truth as you can get. Only thing I have to disagree with is placing the blame on the administration at that moment in time. The blame for the cover up goes to the 3 letter agency that operates in the shadows and with an unlimited budget while controlling all narratives. Those scumbag's are to blame for most of the world's problems. The rest of the world knows it but many Americans ignore it while arguing politics. Left or right leaning means nothing when it comes to this event and the big event that followed it in 2001. The same evil group continues to do as it pleases. You can't vote your way out of this fact. America is dying and won't survive if that agency is allowed to keep doing as it pleases.

Well like I said earlier there are forces in our own Govt capable of doing this. It's obviously not the entire Govt and I'm sure there are good people who do run our country. What do you mean by surviving? The Govt is very discrete and they won't make it known to the public that they are in fact doing something naughty. All we can do is make allegations but they are the ones in control so keeping silent has always worked for them.

Then the FBI comes and removes this guy from the room and tested it four times without him in the room and said it tested negative and the first test was a "false-positive." The FBI had to acknowledge the missile theory at first because most likely it was true so they had to make it go away by doing an "investigation" to prove it not to be true and claim it was mechanical.

[@godzilla618990]

That's just it though, the FBI barely dropped out. I mean they stepped aside a little bit after all criminal activity was ruled out but I'm sure they pressured the NTSB into moving things in the direction they wanted. Well all the pieces were damaged as it is so you really can't tell if it has been hammered or not. They may think the explosion caused that. The way things should have been done is that the NTSB should have been the ones to rule out terrorism because it was their investigation.

[@about2mount]

Everyone missed what caused it's center fuel tank to explode. It's very simple to explain. When the planes air conditioner heated the center tank and when it reached a specific altitude she exploded from dieseling as the center tank reached either a positive or vacuum pressure of 32 psi. No spark is required for a tank to deseil explode. This pressure could have built up from a damaged pressure relief valve vent or a filling cap seal failing.

[@godzilla618990]

The same risk is possible during the investigation, it can be tampered with even during that time or anytime for that matter. Well with Flight 800 and this new documentary they do provide new evidence so hopefully that will re-open the investigation. I never said they had to release the evidence like personally hand it to us but at least give us an opportunity to see more than they show. The problem is whether they release evidence or not who knows if it's the truth.

A missile from the Navy shot down flight 800

[@godzilla618990]

Just because they say they have evidence or say the black boxes show this cannot totally prove it's the truth because we are always left to just take their word for it. Don't get me wrong it could have very well been an accident but we never really know for sure what happened. There is no proof the turbulence was even present to cause the pilot to lose control. They are usually trained very well to handle turbulence so how he could crash the plane is strange.

[@godzilla618990]

Well that's what they saw a white streak of light ascending from the beach. There was also a smoke trail.

[@godzilla618990]

[@KingDevilCharger]

@Tiff Bannen Sorry you're absolutely wrong. There was evidence of explosives and pitting caused by the close proximity missiles that bright down the 747. The FBI moved in to suppress, control, alter and destroy evidence. The NTSB investigates aircraft accidents, not the FBI or the CIA, what does that tell you lol! Do some research and you'll see what really happened. Watch the documentary "TWA Flight 800" by Tom Stalcup and Kristina Borjesson.

[@godzilla618990]

Really? Everything is bothersome about secrecy. Don't get me wrong people have a right to their own privacy, personal life, etc. Celebrities can't even have secrecy because the paparazzi and reporters harass the shit out of them so why should the Govt have secrecy on how our country is being run. I do believe secrecy applies to intelligence and keeping the country safe but not for an investigation. I feel after they are done with their work they should make all the evidence public but they don't

[@jeffersonianideal]

Whitewash

[@godzilla618990]

That's the thing though, it took way too long. I never said it had to be a day but not 16 months. All the things with the exception of collecting the plane's wreckage would not have taken that long let alone 16 months. Like I said, putting the plane back together does not necessarily prove anything. It only shows an explosion happened. Testing the pieces for missile residue would have been the primary method to find evidence of a missile. Anyway, let's just forget how long it took for a second.

Indeed, however the Govt claims that McVeigh and Nichols were the only ones that were involved w this however I don't believe it. There is reason to believe Nichols and Ramzi Yousef were in the Phillipines the same and its possible that's how Nichols was trained in explosives but who knows. You would think OKC would have prepared us for 9/11 or even Flight 800 if it really was terrorism. AA Flight 587 that crashed in Queens 2 months after 9/11 was strange too.

[@gumball3D]

[An] explosion of the center wing fuel tank (CWT), resulting from ignition of the inflammable fuel/air mixture in the tank. The source of ignition energy for the explosion could not be determined with certainty, but, of the sources evaluated by the investigation, the most likely was a short circuit outside of the CWT that allowed excessive voltage to enter it through electrical wiring associated with the fuel quantity indication system.

How do you know for sure it's the truth? I mean yeah sure it can happen but who knows for certain if there was turbulence from the plane in front of it. Well, I won't get into that one since there aren't too many people who come up with alternate theories on Flight 587. The whole shoe bomb thing was a big issue following 9/11. Like I said we don't know the truth, these events may have happened the way the Govt said they did or perhaps not. The thing is we can't sit here and act 100% certain.

[@godzilla618990]

Yes but it was all just speculation. If there really wasn't any evidence of a missile the case would have been closed sooner. I mean it really wouldn't take that long to find evidence of it. Sure the plane was in a million pieces but still once they recovered all the parts all they had to do was look at the debris and test it for missile residue. Pictures, video footage, or just the reconstruction itself would not prove whether a missile hit it or not.

[@godzilla618990]

I heard that but can you really just take their word for it? Look I made it obvious I don't trust them so I will always question the truth. If we honestly all felt the Govt was telling the truth 100% of the time then conspiracies would not exist.

[@godzilla618990]

But a missile has a light on it so whether too small or not it's bright and leaves a visible smoke trail so eyewitnesses could in fact see it. The plane would not be a white dot, I never see planes as white dots I mean you can see flashing lights in the sky but it would be bright enough to see. Check out this missile launch at night from a ship. /watch?v=Os4L7YxT02E

[@godzilla618990]

I mean Captain Ed States had many years of experience. If anything it should have been blamed partly on the Japan Airlines Flight or perhaps Flight 587 should have took off immediately after but planes do that and nothing really happens because I guess you could say the pilots would do a better job at controlling the rudder. I mean this one doesn't have a lot of CT but people often wonder because of the timing after 9/11 not to mention it being on Election Day and terrorism was a big problem.

[@Hituvuvuvu]

You can never really guarantee anything you aren't 100% sure about. You may think you're sure of it but like I said we can't be.

[@godzilla618990]

I guess that could work both ways where someone sees or hears something that had been thought true and they try to tell everyone it's false nobody would believe them either so yeah it's a vice versa thing. People will always believe whatever they want and they have a right to. I guess others will have a hard time accepting what others believe whether they be the official story or conspiracies.

I understand resudue is unavoidable and very obvious.

[@godzilla618990]

I am well aware of false claims made by terrorists. Usually you would do that when a terrorist attack happens not an accidental plane crash but you never know. Of course at the time no one believed to be an accident until the investigation ruled out terrorism. Sometimes claims do have some truth to it but you never know. If there wasn't a small chance that terrorism could have played a role that day then rumors of this stuff wouldn't exist. There can always some truth to a rumor you never know.
