A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded and crashed off the coast of nearby East Moriches, Long Island, killing everyone on the plane. “..This team of investigators who actually handled the wreckage and victims’ bodies, prove that the officially proposed fuel-air explosion did not cause the crash,” reads a statement by the producers of the film, which will debut on cable network EPIX next month. “They also provide radar and forensic evidence proving that one or more ordinance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash.” However, the statement said they did not speculate about the source or sources of any ordinance explosions. The whistleblower team, which includes investigators-at the time-from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), TWA, and the Airline Pilots Association, have since retired from their positions. They claim that at the time, they were placed under a gag order by the NTSB, which they charged falsified the official conclusion of the cause of the crash. They indicated they would elaborate more in a Wednesday media briefing. The NTSB report, the culmination of a four-year investigation, suggested the cause of the explosion was due to an explosion in the gas tank caused by a short circuit. With conspiracy theories immediately swirling around the crash – one being that it was caused by a terrorist missile strike -- the FBI conducted a 16-month investigation and concluded that there was no evidence to indicate that any criminal act occurred.

The official story was a crock from the get go.
Over 150 witnesses along the beach on Long Island reported seeing an object streaking up in the sky prior to the explosion. They ranged from military pilots to all kinds of professional people. They were ALL interrogated by the FBI and told they must be mistaken. Insane NONE of their testimony was presented at the NTSB hearing. The conventional wisdom around TWA was that this was an attempt by terrorists on the EL AL flight immediately ahead of 800 that missed. The Clinton administration(or any other administration for that matter) could not possibly have admitted that terrorists could possess SAM's with that capability(although we all know they are available for a price). http://www.airliners.net/aviatio...iation/read.main/1641021/ emphasis mine. I'm not sure why this had to be an EM missile. But I bet it was a missile. TWA 800 happened in '96. Boeing tested it in 2012 www.gmanetwork.com/news/s...tromagnetic-pulse-missile
