If it was a shoulder mounted type missle, wouldn't it of detonated after missing it's target or hit the water with a big splash? The area is heavily populated, this event (if it happened) could have been seen from the ground.

The airlines donated money to Gore's 2000 campaign, that's why his recommendations were dropped.

The TWA800 story is still ongoing, a former pilot is filing a lawsuit with the NTSB about the "zoom climb" theory. An airliner can't continue to climb with it's nose shot off, that was basis for the NTSB's theory to explain what witnesses saw.

Anyone else remember this Malkin/MANPAD/Oklahoma City story from July?

This isn't being widely reported, I think, to keep people from panicing and not flying thus hurting the airlines even more than they are hurting now.

Whatever the Israeli's do we need to do.

The most it could have climbed, if at all, was about 200 ft, the NTSB had it climbing over 3000'; this is the basis for Ray Lahr's lawsuit. He is a former Navy & TWA pilot and a story about his lawsuit is here:

http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/archive/k/kovach/2004/kovach071004.htm

Like Sephton, the plaintiff in this “zoom-climb” lawsuit cannot be dismissed as a so-called “conspiracy theorist”. Ray Lahr is a former Navy fighter pilot, who later retired from TWA as an airline captain — and crash investigator. He is convinced that the official government version of the Flight 800 crash is flawed. And, he is now suing the government over some of the “proof” of their official story.

Lahr says that the video, which was released to the news media to support the official story, shows an event that is aerodynamically impossible. And, after the FBI and the NTSB showed the video at a press conference, representatives of Boeing quickly distanced the company from the video (press statement, 18 Nov 1997). For reasons that are unclear, the video was produced by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Captain Lahr believes that the official story about the Flight 800 crash cannot be supported by the evidence. And, when he saw the video, he felt that the public had been duped. He set out to prove what his gut had told him instantly: the scenario shown in the computer-animated video is impossible. Lahr has tried to obtain the calculations used to create the video; but, the NTSB and Boeing have refused to provide them.

In their last major confrontation in court, in December of 2003, the judge made a surprising decision. Judge Howard Matz added the CIA as a defendant in the case. Considering that the CIA produced the video, the decision makes sense. But, common sense is not often so prevalent in court cases, especially against the government.
