Here's a weird one. Six members of the original investigation team into the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800 near Long Island, now say that the NTSB falsified the cause of the crash. Weirder, they now say they can prove that "one or more ordinance explosions outside the aircraft" caused it.
An "ordnance explosion" could be a bomb, missile warhead, anti-aircraft shell, etc... and couldn't be much else.
If they can actually prove that... how could this not become a huge scandal, dwarfing all else? Even if that administration is long gone?
Conspiracy theories on the crash have been numerous, of course. But these are the actual investigators themselves...?
TWA Flight 800 investigators break silence in new documentary, claim original conclusion about cause of crash is wrong
Published June 18, 2013
FoxNews.com
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.

Interesting, to say the least. I was there on LI back then, and always held my suspicions, but feared being labeled as one of the tin-foil hat wearers.
I thought it was pretty well understood that the official story was BS and that it was a training exercise gone awry. And I'm not a conspiracy nut - one quick glance through my history here will attest to that. I really did think it was common knowledge that this was a cover up.
One would think that given the profound implications of the story a media organization like Fox would at the very least cite names of the "investigators" making these assertions.

Perhaps among the tin-foil hat crowd.
I have to believe the physical evidence of an ordinance explosion is different enough from a tank explosion to be immediately evident to almost anyone who worked on the case. I'm calling this very, very, very unlikely.
