Last month I passed another important anniversary in my life. It wasn’t a pleasant one, like the day fifty-two years ago in April when the beautiful young woman I had fallen in love with, pledged her undying devotion to our marriage vows before a Lutheran minister. I did the same, and we have kept them ever since.
It wasn’t the day that I completed my training with TWA and became a member of the fraternity that pilot/author Earnest Gann called a “Band of Brothers”, the airline pilots from around the world. Nor was it the anniversary of the birth our our children. A gift, not a curse as the current pro-abortion crowd would have you believe.
No, this anniversary was a sad one, because on July 17, 1996 230 people died an awful death when TWA 800 exploded and crashed after takeoff on a flight from JFK International in New York to Charles deGaulle International in Paris. I have lived with that tragedy every day since. I was shocked at the time it occurred, and became more so when I began to realize what was happening. It was my introduction to what has become known as the “Deep State”.
Like all conspiracies, what happened on that night, and in the days and weeks that followed, can be traced to a very few people. Their motives can only be surmised, but on closer examination a reasonable person can only come to one conclusion. The airplane did not crash and kill all onboard because of a mysterious mechanical failure. It was due to a series of events involving different individuals and organizations, At the very least it was a tragedy, in the worst case scenario it was a mass murder.
In July of last year, I posted a YouTube video of a presentation I give describing in detail what happened that evening, and during the NTSB investigation that followed. Here’s a link to that video:
I hope you will view this from the prospective of an unbiased member of a jury. The facts are the facts. Even the VERY biased NTSB report concerning the “Probable Cause” of the crash couldn’t make its case. The simple fact that this type of explosion has never happened to any other 747, before or since, should give pause. Also, that the FAA and other similar agencies around the globe didn’t immediately ground the 747 fleet, as was the case with DC-10s and others, speaks volumes.
The NTSB investigation into the cause of the crash of TWA 800 needs to be reopened, allowing ALL the evidence to be included and considered. Politics were involved in the original findings. That is a travesty which must be corrected and the sooner the better.
