After years of delay the NTSB has finally released the FBI's redacted eyewitness reports. FIRO has studied the CIA animation and related NTSB simulations in detail. All are in significant conflict with FAA radar that tracked the true path of Flight 800. FIRO therefore contends that the NTSB cannot reasonably conclude the official inquiry without acknowledging and seriously addressing all these many conflicts, anomalies and unexamined details. Blustering assertions of scrupulous diligence from high government officials should no longer be uncritically accepted.
Aviation safety depends on the official inquiry process being done well and being done credibly.
On close examination, this investigation itself looks like an aviation disaster. FIRO is a group of over 50 citizen researchers who have been pursuing an independent investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800 over the past two years. The group includes members with diverse backgrounds and expertise, including university researchers, engineers, technical, military, and aviation professionals.
