- The National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB, has secretly
sent a large part of the wreckage of TWA Flight 800 to a Long Island junkyard
for recycling.
-
- Millions of dollars were spent recovering the wreckage
from the ocean and transporting it to Calverton, where the fuselage was
assembled as a mock-up to impress the public with what a thorough job the
investigators ñ the NTSB and the FBI ñ were doing.
-
- That was for show, but there was other wreckage that
they didn't want shown. Journalists and private investigators were not
allowed inside the Calverton hangar to inspect the bulk of the recovered
wreckage, but even members of the official investigating team were not
allowed into a special area where the FBI secreted items that they didn't
want the representatives of the NTSB, TWA, Boeing and the interested unions
to see.
-
-
- The fuselage mock-up will be preserved, together with
one of the four engines. The destruction of the rest was carried out in
July and August of this year. The recycler says that he had to pledge to
keep it secret to get the contract. Long Island's News Channel 12 learned
about it only recently.
-
- The NTSB claims that all interested parties were told
what they intended to do. The parties who are most interested, those who
have carried out their own investigations and are convinced that the government's
explanation of the cause of the crash is bogus, were not notified.
-
- The NTSB denies that it kept the demolition secret, but
it's clear that it did so. It knew that there were many people interested
in the TWA 800 case who would have strenuously objected to the destruction
of evidence that they believed would prove the NTSB and FBI had covered
up the real cause of the crash ñ hits by missiles that were seen
by hundreds of eyewitnesses.
-
- The FBI was so nervous about what some of the recovered
wreckage revealed that it would not allow non-FBI members of the official
investigating team to see it. It was kept in a special room that only FBI
special agents could access.
-
- Other investigators complained that evidence was taken
to that room and never seen again. Now we will never know what vital bits
of evidence were hidden in that room.
-
- One of them may have been part of the tail assembly of
a drone manufactured by Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical, TRA, in San Diego.
We know from a misdirected fax that the FBI asked TRA to send an official
to Calverton to see if he could identify some bright orange wreckage.
-
- After seeing it, the official asked his office to send
him a parts list and drawings of the tail assembly of the BQM-34 Firebee
1. When I questioned him, he first said it was just junk, but he then switched
and said he saw a part similar to a TRA product and that he sent for the
drawings to prove that it wasn't theirs.
-
- If it wasn't from a Firebee, it must have been from another
drone, evidence the FBI hid and the NTSB has destroyed.
-
- Maj. Fritz Meyer was piloting an Air National Guard helicopter
when he saw TWA Flight 800 hit by missiles. Later he viewed the wreckage
in the Calverton hangar and was struck by the heavy damage done to a nose
wheel and tire. An NTSB official with him remarked that experts told him
it was caused by a bomb.
-
- The "bomb" must have been attached to a missile.
That was also evidence that had to be destroyed.
-
- When part of the leading edge of the right wing was tested
for explosive residue by an Egis machine, 12 positive hits were registered.
Maj. Meyer flew the wing section to Washington to be retested by the FBI
crime lab, which reported that all but two of the 12 hits were false positives.
-
- Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, the FBI's top explosives expert
until he was assigned to a different job when he became a whistle-blower,
says that the lab failed to follow proper procedures in retesting the wing.
-
- In any case, there were two positive hits for explosive
residue, evidence that a missile had exploded near the plane. That evidence
was a serious threat to the government's theory of the cause of the crash.
-
-
- The destruction of so much evidence that could be used
to prove that the government has covered up the real cause of the crash
of TWA 800 may have been legal. However, those who ordered it apparently
feared they might not have been allowed to get away with it if they did
so openly, because it is morally outrageous.
