Sanders, who has thoroughly and independently researched the case, now presents extensive supporting evidence that TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a U.S. Navy missile that killed 230 people on July 17, 1996. Evidence indicates that top government officials knew the truth just a few hours later, and immediately ordered a campaign of disinformation. A carefully-worded statement. The cause seems to have been an accident. A CIA video simulation shown during the briefing concluded that witnesses to the crash off the Long Island coast saw the breakup of the doomed plane in the seconds after the initial explosion, not the explosion itself.
Several posters scoff at a conspiracy.
Indeed, there is no reason to believe there was a conspiracy. As stated above, no-one suggests that in this case the U.S. Navy deliberately shot down TWA 800. It seems that this is not the first case of a suspected navy missile blowing a civilian airliner out of the sky.
