Tss5078 I am really not a fan of conspiracy theories and I generally try to avoid documentaries like this one, but The flight 800 crash did happen within a half hour of my home. For six months after the crash the local media was filled with arguments and doubt over what happened. Now, 17 years removed, I decided to watch this film, with the hope of finally learning the truth and I think I did. When a handful of people see something, it's easy to pass them over as a bunch of nuts, but what happens when 1000 people see something? The First Amendment gives people the right to say anything, but when you're going against the U.S. Government, you'd better have the evidence to back it up, the producers of this film have that and then some. In this film, the lead NTSB investigator, on the job for more the 40 years said that the FBI was on the scene in minutes, that they wouldn't let anyone in, and once he was finally allowed to do his job, evidence was removed and he was not allowed to submit his report. Medical examiners, on the job for half a century explained that their investigation was hindered as well, and that the injuries didn't fit the story. The film makers not only had this outrageous testimony, but they had experts who said the Government story was impossible. They prove this with formerly classified documents, radar evidence, and witness testimony. There is no doubt that this plane was brought down by missiles, so why did the Government cover it up? If it was an act of terrorism, there would be no reason to cover it up. Not to mention, if it was an act of terrorism, how did they get three missiles and two boats, without anyone noticing? Finally, most compelling of all, when a terrorist group does something, they want everyone to know about it, but no one ever took responsibility for doing this, which leads me to believe it was our own Government. There is a naval base in that area, who would have had the capabilities of doing this, the only question is, did the U.S. Government sacrifice 149 people to kill one person who they didn't want leaving the country? I don't know and neither does anyone else, but the truth is that the families of the victims deserve to know how and why their loved ones were killed. How can anyone expect to have closure when their is such an obviously lie being thrown at them? It really is a shameful display of Government abuse and all I can say is that I hope the real story does come out one day.

imdb-4992 Thank you to the courageous Americans who are putting their reputation on the line to bring up the lies we were told about TWA flight 800. Watch out for "reviewers" who attack the documentary with the intent to discourage people from watching it and coming to their own conclusions. I recall watching a retired Air Force Pilot who went on CSPAN debunk this "center fuel tank explosion" theory years ago, and he was a credible as any person I've listened to. That was when I first realized (sadly I admit) that our government lies to us and that they cannot be trusted. I am a psychologist and I'm frightened at how psychology was referenced by the government to imply that eye witness testimony is so unreliable as a means to discredit hundreds of eye witnesses to what was a very basic event (little details to get mixed up). Listen to the eye witnesses in this documentary and see for yourself if they seem credible. I've watched lots of documentaries and I don't often agree with them because I think they don't provide all of the details or distort the facts. I also look for who has an agenda to push. I see no ulterior motives with those who are interviewed for this movie. I just recommend that you watch it for yourself, and if it's your first exposure to how easily our government lies to its citizens, be prepared to be discouraged (and hopefully motivated to make some changes).

ghigau Opinions predominate, facts are scarce. Like all conspiracy films, this one sets out to prove a point. It is clear that evidence that disproves the conspiracy theory is edited out. Interview clips are edited to make opinions seems certain, or that doubt is evidentiary proof! Someone did not do a test, so that proves they were covering up something. Eye witnesses are presented as completely credible when research has shown that they are almost the least reliable evidence. The body language of many of the interviewees strongly indicates that they are lying. I wonder if any was subject to a polygraph test? I doubt they would pass.The proof is like the proof that Nicole Brown Simpson was killed by drug dealers. A possibility that is not disproved does not mean the possibility is fact. Space aliens could have shot down Flight 800!!! Except they didn't."What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

d00gie_B I had heard a few weeks ago that a number of investigators of the Flight 800 disaster had come out publicly about their "reservations" about the official conclusions of the NTSB investigation. I did not, however, realize that there was a documentary that had been made, detailing the substance of those "reservations". Serendipity, and perhaps Fate, led me to be searching my DVR for something to watch at 3 am, whereupon I chanced to see this title. Hmmmm...*** Spoiler Alert? *** This documentary is unique, as far as I know, in its inclusion of high-level technical officials involved in an actual investigation, giving very specific details (technical and otherwise) of a cover-up as it happened. For this alone is this film compelling in the extreme.In addition to this, the broad cross-section of eyewitness accounts, technical data, and media footage demonstrates convincingly that not only did Flight 800 *not* explode due to a center wing tank anomaly, but that 3 (yes, *three*) different plumes/flares/etc. were witnessed by multiple (i.e. **many**) witnesses interacting with the doomed airliner, eyewitness accounts which were excluded from the NTSB investigation, an apparently unique circumstance, according to the seasoned investigators. Also, the investigators' assertions of very specific pieces of evidence and analyses which simply "disappeared" from or were plainly modified at the closed investigation hangar are greatly disturbing. Finally, the skew of the media coverage of the event and investigation relative to the asserted facts is impossible to discount as merely "reportage of the story".The final and most explosive (pun intended) evidence in the sickening array of exposed lies is the radar return immediately after the explosion of the plane showing fragments at a distance which are consistent *only* with a velocity of about Mach 4 (~3000 mi/h), a velocity which could not be reached by anything other than a rocket or a high-explosive detonation.In a larger context, this unique exposition of official skullduggery, malfeasance, and frankly, Evil, should hopefully shake the cobwebs loose from a new contingent of the un-awake sheeple enough to begin to make them question *other* as-yet-unsatisfactorily-explained "disasters". Such as World Trade Center Building 7.
