Get Jack Cashill’s book. It was the gold standard for really happened. Hint: there was more than 1 whistleblower.

Cashill's book is not conclusive, just stating that there are ideas, which lean towards a conclusion. So much details not in focus.

It should be noted that the USS Carr (FFG-52) is a guided missile frigate. An FFG does not carry a SPY-1A radar system, which is unique to the Aegis CG Ticonderoga class cruisers. So we’re dealing with some limited hangout disinformation here or this post has mistakenly misreported the ship involved in the incident.

The East Coast Navy missile range is off the Virginia Capes, not Long Island. Yet the bright yellow stains on the recovered TWA800 seat cushions inadvertently caught by News cameras before anyone realized their significance were unmistakably SAM rocket propellant. Unmistakably. I saw those photos and immediately knew. Whatever the circumstances, intentional takedown or accidental SAM collision, we’ll probably never know what happened.

I have seen conflicting internet pages on this CARR, as far as technical details go. However, this is moot anyway, as the US navy was not out there that night, or at least not off the Long Island coast. The plane was not even 'shot down' as the ''Initiating cause''. So, the US navy is totally off the table, in that regard.

OK, is this Malaysia

Or is this the Ukrainian Malaysia flight? I wish people would be more specific and losing track of all these fucking planes getting shot out of the sky over the last decade.

LOL. I should’ve spelled this out more, this incident was off Long Island in 1996. The official narrative was that there was an electric problem that caused an explosion, but according to this dude it was accidentally shot down by the Navy.

The US navy was not involved. There are ''plenty'' of paths to discovery on this, not just ''an opinion''.... There would be an analysis done on this, and very well done if I say so myself. But for me to say that this is pretty much over, does not sit too well with a lot of people.

TWA flight 800 is straight forward but too hot for career desires... until now.

This guy deserves a break!
