I Don't Know About This...

This seems a little far fetched, just on the opposite side of Cynthia McKinney. Thought I'd let y'all know about it anyway, though.

That book should be called: "Cashing in on a tragedy".

Please let me know that you're posting a link from an insane right wing website so I don't need to waste my time or give them my hit.

So an international terrorist incident was covered up by multiple agencies in order to make America feel "safer" before the next election?

And here I thought it was to divert attention from all the murders Clinton was personally committing while in office. Who knew?

Yeah, articles about "taking back America for God-fearing Americans" is pretty mainstream...

As much as i'd like to agree with Dev and Jacob I cannot. When I left JFK in December of 2001 I met a Pilot for TWA and I spoke with him about a great many things. During our discussion attacks came up and I asked him off the record what happened with this flight and I asked was it brought down by a missle? The guy said yeah thats what we think. I asked him if it was covered up and he nodded. This wasn't some kid this was an elderly chap who was a very thoughtful level headed guy. The key question becomes why was it covered up?

The answer in my opinion is because the Clinton administration had too many black eyes as it was. Yeah that does seem strange but thats what I believe. After Waco and the other terrorist incidents including the first failed attempt on WTC I think if the public knew that a commerical airliner was brought down by a stinger missle obviously the airline business would have started down the downward spiral (It was reported American Airlines which owns TWA a few days ago posted losses somewhere around 3 billion).

Btw that pilot also told me he lost some friends/workmates on that flight.

Can't argue with evidence like that. Thoughtful and level-headed elderly chaps are famous for never being wrong.

Well if you talked to him the way I did you'd understand. Thats cool though just continue to think older people who work in the flight industry are paranoid conspiracy theorists. Oh and btw his favorite place was Cairo weirdly enough. I guess he loves the enviroment and people there.

Daywalker, Dan didn't say all elderly folks who work in the flight industry are Conspiracy nuts. I imagine you can find plenty that believe in UFO's too.

My question to you Dan if you think this is a bullshit story why do you think he told me that when he knew the pilot flying that plane? I don't know man you oughta really think about it. It pisses me off that you can just throw his opinion out the window because I made a statement about him being a thoughtful and level-headed elderly chap(I knew someone would bite on that comment but I never figured it'd be you ).

I just have total confidence in that if any of us talked to this man we would doubt the offical statement about how this plane went down.

I'm not throwing his opinion out of the window because he's a "thoughtful and level-headed elderly chap", I'm doubting it because it's apocryphal. It's hearsay. Seriously, what evidence does he provide? I'm sure a lot of pilots thought it was a missile, and that there was a cover-up. Doesn't make them right.

Why would anyone cover such a thing up? To keep the airlines in business while people are sitting on a beach lobbing missles at planes off the coast? That would've been political suicide after a few more planes went down. If the plane was attacked, finding and stopping the attacker would've been good for the polls.

This being a cover-up makes no sense to me. As for the article, "far-fetched" doesn't even begin to cover it. I mean, c'mon:

I can accept that. It is hard to believe i'll grant you that. I hope none of you lose any work colleagues and friends.

Here's the best reason for this not being a terrorist attack:

Nobody has claimed responsibility.

The whole point of a terrorist attack is to create terror, panic and paranoia. So if this was the work of terrorists, why would they let all this time pass, letting people think it was an accident? There's no political currency in that. Terrorists brag about what they do. They celebrate it. They do it to make a point. They don't do it and then make it look like an accident.

And in todays media-saturated world, there's no way something like that could be covered up if the terrorists wanted people to know.

I hope you're right Dan. Obviously if it is true it wouldn't bold well for my country so I hope you are right and I am wrong.
