did you know what already happened with twa's 747 100 n93119 in flight 800?
i think u.s government is hiding the fact of an accident with a missile shot by a ship of his naval force in july of 1996.
the American government declared that one of its ships was making attack exercises in projected targets. he speculates on himself that one of his missiles impact against the airplane of twa.
eyewitnesses declared to see something similar to a missile rise in the dark at night and hit against an airplane that I explode right away.

The official findings stated that the central fuel tank was ignited by a spark caused by a fault or problem with the electric system but i am quite sure we can never be 100% certain.
I read something about an American ship in the gulf that shot down an Iran Air A300 when they thought it was an F-16. This was reported as mistaken identity.
But in this case the aircraft was operating on U.S. soil so if a missile did accidently hit the aircraft it may be a case of the U.S. Navy keeping quite because there is no proof that it happened. No missile remains were found and if i remember correctly the aircraft split into two main bits. The nose and the tail. The nose fell into the ocean and the tail continued to climb then slowed and rapidly decended. If the central fuel tank had exploded would this not have damaged the wings (too much for it to continue to fly and not just decend immediately). As with many crashes the full truth may never be known but we can be fairly sure of one think, as sad as it may be there will always be aircrashes in the same respect that there will always be car crashes and rail crashes.

Not sure on the exact details but i did watch a program (Seconds from Diaster) about this flight.

I am totally in agreement with your commentary of the tank and the wings. with respect to the rest of a missile, were rest of explosives in the airplane which leaves the doubt that this could be terrorist act.

It is thought by some that this was the work of terrorists and that the Clinton administration covered it up becuase of the coming presidential election in which Bill's chances would have been significantly lowered had it been known by the public that a terrorist attack had taken place on his watch.

twa 800 accident in 1996 at rhode island

twa 800 accident in 1996 wasnt in rhode island. If the flight blew up (or missiled down) in Rhode Island how did it end up in New York

twa 800 blew up (or missiled down) after take off at JFK. Which im guessing you meant long island

The TWA 800 accident was off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada not at Rhode Island, USA.

Yes, it was off the coast of Long Island. SWR 111 went down off of Nova Scotia.
