Ordinarily I am not into conspiracy theories but this has my attention. Several of the former investigators are alleging a cover up and I think in this instance where there is smoke there may indeed be fire. Clinton was very soft on terrorism and basically just didn't want to deal with it so that adds even more fuel to this fire.
" Investigators from the first probe of doomed TWA Flight 800 called Wednesday for a new examination of the tragedy, resurrecting old claims that a missile downed the plane.
A half-dozen people involved in the original inquiry into the July 17, 1996, blast that killed 230 people on a Paris-bound flight out of JFK Airport claimed new evidence supports the oft-suggested missile theory."

New evidence... just buy our documentary and you can see it!
While it's interesting I have a hard time believing that if the evidence was that relevant someone would not have come out well before this. To thoroughly cover up something like the military accidentally shooting down a passenger liner or covering up evidence of terrorists doing so intentionally would involve a whole lot of people holding on to media dynamite and people ALWAYS jump at the money.

I could respond with, "What difference doe it make?", or "That was a long time ago", and that should settle it. I guess I just did. Matter settled.I remember this very well. I knew it was a cover-up at the time, but couldn't figure out why they wanted to cover it up. I also remember concluding that the cover up came straight from the White House of Slick Willy Clintoooon, and I'm a fan of Slick Willy, but facts are facts. As I recall, the best of eyewitness accounts would support a missile fired from coastal Long Island or a boat offshore. Perhaps Clinton realized the oppressive politics of overreaction to terrorist's threats, or perhaps it was an erroneous US Navy missile and he's protecting them. Do you think we will ever find out? It's like reopening the Warren Report or the 9-11 Report.

You are probably right but I am going to watch the documentary.

A documentary with the sole intention of giving you a particular opinion.

Was the fuel tank in question full, or nearly so? I would note that if the tank wasn't full, it is possible for a small spark, even from low voltage, to ignite fumes - but like you, I doubt it. Jet A is not nearly as flammable as gasoline, and it's extremely difficult to ignite a bucket of gas even, with a match. There's always been a stretch involved here that's been shrouded in the technical aspects of a large jet and it's complexity. We in the public can't fully appreciate that, and it is exploited sometimes.Didn't they say it was a sending unit ? The device that gives the pilots an indication on fuel capacity ?
Sorry, thats low voltage, low power with a circuit breaker. There is no way a wire to or from the sending unit could produce the heat needed to light a tank full of Jet-A
No, with the intention of educating that segment of the public not born when it happened, or too busy to inform themselves.
I was always suspicious too. There were just too many reports of a streak of fire going toward the plane right before it blew up.

There were a lot of reports of blast fire in the towers before the planes hit. Just saying that people claiming something doesn't make it any more credible.
This has "loose change" written all over it. I will watch it, but only if I can find it somewhere free. If it's such an "important" piece, why wouldn't it be free for all to see. This smells like complete BS.
I have an open mind about this and am willing to listen. Obviously you and Deuce have your minds made up so don't watch the documentary, I don't care.

Oh for the love of mercy why is this conspiracy still alive.
Is it hard to accept that a short circuit in the wiring of the central wing tank caused a spark that blew up the fuel inside the tank, tearing the plane apart?
This happaned during the Clinton administration so a cover-up is entirely possible.
I've had a A and P License for 20 years now and remember the TWA explosion.
Jumbo Jets just don't Detonate in mid-air. It doesn't happen.
Their explanation was blatantly misleading. Jet-A is basically Kerosene, and is actually difficult to light relative to Gasoline.
You can put a match out in a bucket of Kerosene.
