Easy answer the Chemtrail release valve got stuck and they had to down it before it reached Martha's Vineyard!

I think 9/11 truthers are nuts.
But as far as TWA 800....I don't think a mechanical defect brought down a 747 in a spontaneous explosion. That has not happenened sense.
It was more likely a terrorist attack or hazardous cargo explosion.

everyone should watch the netflix documentary entitled TWA Flight 800. i'm sure it is sensationalized but it will definitely leave you questioning the official explanation.

We lost a great guitar player in that explosion. Rest in peace, Marcel Dadi.

Terrorists with close ties to Hezbollah wanted retaliation for Iran Air Flight 655.

hasn't happened since?-

Static electricity or stray arc most certainly could have ignited vapors. Ask a USCG helicopter rescue crew about the static bolts that the blades throw.....
My dad flew for TWA for 29 years and knew the crew on that plane. My brother has been an engineer for Boeing for 25 years- TWA beat the crap out of their planes and had been struggling since Icahn gutted them. A mechanical defect is way more likely than any other scenario.

been a long time since I've looked at anything about that flight but as usual, blame has to be placed and a knee jerk "fix" has to be implemented, I think the NTSB determined that a fuel pump that was running when a tank emptied, arced and ignited fumes, which I personally think is bullshite, the fix? turn off the pumps in the tank when the fuel level reaches 2000lbs., I've got over 20,000 hours in Boeing jets, mostly the heavies and this was never heard of, before or after TWA 800

Because you touch yourself.

It's been a couple of years since but I remember watching something on netflix or smithsonian channel about it.
One lady on there was claiming that she had seen what looked like missle headed toward the airliner right before it exploded.
She had applied for citizenship and the feds basically told her to shutup if she wanted to become a US citizen.
Who knows how accurate that was.

There was significant precedence in the military side prior to 1996- NTSB did not pull this out of their arse.
On Dec. 10, 1993, a Wisconsin Air National Guard KC-135 blew up on the ground at Gen. Billy Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee. Six maintenance personnel died.
An investigative board found "clear and convincing evidence" that an explosion in the plane's center fuel tank was triggered by sparking in a wire within the housing of a fuel pump. The electrical arc managed to enlarge a tiny vent hole in the housing, sending molten copper from the wire into the tank. Fuel vapors quickly ignited.
-- On Sept. 17, 1987, a KC-10 exploded at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Again, the cause was attributed to a fuel vapor explosion in the center fuel tank. One mechanic died.
Investigators found that fuel had leaked, and vapors probably had been ignited by arcing from a battery near the pump area for the tank.
Shortly after the incident, the Air Force ordered checks of all KC-10s and found a dozen similar leaks.
-- On July 24, 1989, at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, an Air Force B-52 bomber went up in flames, killing one person, after a refueling team mistakenly left a vent plug in the plane's center fuel tank. The plug caused too much vapor pressure to build. The tank ruptured, spilling 2,600 gallons of fuel onto the tarmac. Air Force investigators were unable to determine the ignition source.
-- On Oct. 4, 1990, an Air Force KC-135 tanker exploded during approach to Loring Air Force Base in Maine. That incident involved a rear aerial-refueling storage tank rather than the central fuel tank. Witnesses said they saw two explosions on the plane and then saw the tail section separate from the aircraft. Investigators blamed the accident, which killed all four crew members, on a fuel pump that overheated to at least 1,400 degrees.
-- In another rear-tank incident, on Sept. 20, 1989, a KC-135 assigned to the Alaska Air National Guard exploded on the ground at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. Two people died. The accident was attributed to a malfunction of a refueling pump, which set off vapors in a rear tank.

I remember that. A friend of mine was stationed there at the time.
