July 17, 1996… five years before 9/11, a TWA 747 crashed into Long Island Sound after exploding. In 2013, a group calling itself the TWA 800 Project, composed of some surviving family members as well as skeptics, petitioned the National Transportation Safety Board for a new investigation. They insisted that “ a detonation or a high-velocity explosion” caused the crash.” Was the terrorist attack of 9/11 related to TWA 800? Could be..
In addition to the TWA 800 Project, 258 witnesses told investigators they’d seen a streak of white light approaching the aircraft before the explosion. A few witnesses used the word “rocket” or “missile” in describing what they saw.
Witness 364 , who had once served as the crew chief of a Marine Corps helicopter squadron, was sitting on the dock of the Bellport Yacht Club with a female friend. Looking to the southeast, he “noticed an object rising vertically.”
It had a red glow and took about thirty seconds to reach its zenith, then arced downwards for ten seconds, and sped off on a flat, horizontal course for about fifteen seconds. The witness then saw a small red explosion, followed by a “tremendous” bright white second explosion, which evolved into an orange-yellow ball that fell in two pieces to the sea.
“He realized he had seen two different things,” reported the FBI, “namely the rising ‘object,’ and the subsequent explosions.”
After learning of TWA 800’s destruction, “He came to the personal conclusion that what he had seen was a missile hitting the airplane.”
Witnesses 385 and 386, a couple with their young children, were boating in the Moriches Inlet. They told the FBI that a bright orange-red glow “seemed like it came off the horizon and rose slowly, weaving as it continued upward.”
It traveled diagonally at a seventy-degree angle going in a westerly direction and left a white smoke trail in its wake. It then disappeared, and a “large oval ball of fire” appeared just above where the object was last sighted. The two heard no sound as they watched as “the ball of fire came straight down,” breaking eventually into two pieces.
Witness 491 was fishing with some buddies off a dock in Center Moriches when he “observed a red light moving up into the air.” It was moving in an “irregular type arc” in a southeasterly direction.
He followed this “red flare” for an estimated thirty seconds and felt it “was trying to follow something.” The flare then suddenly “turned into a huge ball of flame and fell in two pieces.” The official investigation denied a missile had hit the aircraft. They said the center fuel tank exploded because of a spark from bad wiring. Well, .. If the plane was hit with a missile it could have exploded the fuel tank. It would be unusual if it didn’t. Missile.. Hits the plane. Fuel Explodes…FUEL IS MADE TO EXPLODE!
Spark or Missile… Sparks don’t rise up through the air and follow an aircraft. Missiles do. Missiles fly through the air seeking heat. If the missile hit the fuel tank, BOOM!. If it hit the aircraft and exploded the explosion would have exploded the fuel tank. It seems certain government wanted to cover-up the missile story to prevent itself from looking bad because a terrorist had attacked America from inside America. Five years later, on September 11, 2001 terrorists succeeded in attacking America inside America using aircraft but not missiles.
No aircraft has exploded from a fuel tank explosion except TWA 800. Was TWA 800 a terrorist attack? We rate it exceptionally probable.
