The Downing of TWA Flight 800
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
by J. Orlin Grabbe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Terrorists who want to arm themselves for
|
||
|
|
operations in the U.S. do not need to search in foreign locales
|
||
|
|
like Afghanistan. They can find all the material they need right
|
||
|
|
here at home. According to military sources, over 200
|
||
|
|
Stinger missiles are missing from inventory in U.S. military
|
||
|
|
bases--places like Ft. Campbell and Ft. Knox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That TWA Flight 800 was taken out by a ground-to-
|
||
|
|
air missile was known from the beginning by U.S. official
|
||
|
|
agencies. The flight path of the missile was captured both on
|
||
|
|
radar and by satellite. The only question was the identity of
|
||
|
|
the missile and the identity of the group responsible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You wouldn't know this, of course, if you watched the
|
||
|
|
endless "press briefings" on television news. Since the U.S.
|
||
|
|
government had no idea of how to handle the matter--both in
|
||
|
|
the real sense and in the PR sense--official bodies like the
|
||
|
|
White House and the FBI stalled for time. They talked about
|
||
|
|
not all the evidence being in, occasionally mumbling something
|
||
|
|
about a bomb. They even hinted darkly that Greece could be
|
||
|
|
responsible--the plane had stopped there--even though the
|
||
|
|
TWA aircraft had more recently spent three hours on the
|
||
|
|
ground in Kennedy airport, being cleaned, refueled, and
|
||
|
|
checked for mechanical problems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A Stinger missile does not require a lot in the way of
|
||
|
|
logistics. It can be fired from a small boat. One doesn't need
|
||
|
|
a cabin cruiser. A 16-foot craft and a missile launcher will do.
|
||
|
|
After the job is over, one simply sinks the boat with the
|
||
|
|
launcher some distance off shore. Standard operating
|
||
|
|
procedure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some experts involved in the TWA Flight 800
|
||
|
|
investigation have no doubt a Stinger or very similar missile
|
||
|
|
was responsible for the takedown of the plane. Flight 800
|
||
|
|
had taken off from Long Island and entered the Boston air
|
||
|
|
corridor in the process of "stacking out". It was only at
|
||
|
|
around 7000 feet altitude when the apparent Stinger hit the
|
||
|
|
747 airplane skin underneath the fuel tank. That was the first
|
||
|
|
explosion. Then the 11,000 gallons of on-board fuel ignited in
|
||
|
|
a white heat--this in turn igniting the aluminum of the plane
|
||
|
|
body in much the same way that the surrounding burning
|
||
|
|
material ignites the magnesium chips in a holiday sparkler.
|
||
|
|
The second explosion left few large aircraft parts to be later
|
||
|
|
pinpointed by sonar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The group responsible, identified by intelligence
|
||
|
|
sources as working on behalf of Syria, say there are five more
|
||
|
|
planes to go. One assumes this means they have five more
|
||
|
|
Stingers. (Some Sidewinders are also missing from military
|
||
|
|
inventory). The group means serious business. We saw their
|
||
|
|
handiwork even before TWA flight 800: the knock-out of the
|
||
|
|
energy grid that left some fifteen western states with partial
|
||
|
|
electrical blackouts on July 2. The reason for this blackout
|
||
|
|
was quickly hushed up by government officials. The media
|
||
|
|
obligingly turned their attention elsewhere, waiting to be
|
||
|
|
awakened from their lethargy when the group strikes again.
