Bresnahan >� 1999 WorldNetDaily.com > >The crash of EgyptAir 990 is the most recent example of an apparent Clinton >Administration policy to deny terrorist involvement in airline disasters, >according to independent investigators. >With an extensive background as a flight crash investigator, Cmdr. William >Donaldson (Ret.), and former Federal Aviation Administration investigator >Rodney Stitch, both believe a terrorist bomb on board the plane most likely >caused the crash of EgyptAir 990. > >Donaldson's independent study of a previous air disaster, the 1996 crash of >TWA flight 800, led him to conclude that crash was caused by a missile fired >by terrorists. Stitch concurs that a missile was the most likely cause of the >TWA disaster. Moreover, Stitch has compelling evidence that the U.S. >government allowed over 100 U.S.-made Stinger missiles to be put on the open >market, likely finding their way into terrorist hands.

In the past, both investigators >contend, when the U.S. has admitted to being a victim of terrorism, the >government usually has failed to take decisive action.

Why didn't we know there was a threat? Where was >the CIA? Where was the FBI? Where was the military? What did the White House >know and when did they know it?'" said Donaldson. > >Stitch agreed with the assessment that President Clinton avoids scrutiny by >remaining uncommitted on whether terrorism was involved in either of the >crashes, and delaying the final investigative outcome for as long as >possible. > >"Let's say they know it was a surrogate from Iran that was responsible. Once >the media's got the story they're going to run with it. What are you going to >do, Mr. President? The American people are going to demand that we take some >kind of reprisal," suggested Donaldson. > >"Iran is a very tough nut to screw with. They've got cells all around the >world of loyal Moslems that will light their bodies on fire," he added. >Rather than deal with the difficult situation, both men believe the evidence >is strong that a new policy for dealing with terrorist acts began with the >crash of TWA flight 800 in 1996. > >The evidence already known about EgyptAir 990 should be enough to indicate >only a very few realistic explanations for what happened, according to both >investigators, as well as one of the actual designers of the Boeing 767 >aircraft that crashed. > >Joseph Ruisi worked for Grumman Aerospace and was part of the team that >designed much of the plane under subcontract for Boeing. Ruisi told >WorldNetDaily it was highly unlikely EgyptAir 990 suffered mechanical failure >to the extent that it would respond the way the evidence shows. > >The Boeing 767 is the strongest commercial airplane in the air, said Ruisi. >Something caused the plane to depressurize, he said, and it was most likely a >bomb. Stitch and Donaldson agree. > >"The first possibility is a bomb exploding on the aircraft and the pilot then >making an emergency descent," said Stitch. > >"When I used to conduct emergency descents with the airline pilots, we'd go >up to 37,000 feet and then I would tell them we just lost all >pressurization," said Stitch. "One thing I would warn them about would be, if >the depressurization is due to damage like, let's say, a bomb, there's a >possibility that the emergency descent, which is kind of hard on the >aircraft, could cause further failure of the aircraft. It could come >completely apart." > >He disagreed with the suggestion that one of the engines suddenly went into >reverse. All three men said that is the least likely cause, and that it is >being used as a cover by the National Transportation Safety Board and the >Clinton Administration. > >Although all three believe a missile strike is responsible for the downing of >TWA flight 800, they believe such is just a remote possibility in the case of >EgyptAir 990. Small missiles could not reach the altitude at which the >EgyptAir plane was flying, and at that altitude and speed it would be >virtually impossible to hit. > >The only missiles that could successfully hit the plane would have to be >launched from a submarine or another plane, said Donaldson, who did not see >evidence that such an attack had been made. > >"The basic facts as I've seen them, show[ing] the aircraft precipitously >diving from 33,000 feet with the transponder operating, is significant. It >means that the engines, the fuel system, the wings were intact when the >aircraft left it's cruising altitude. There's two ways that can happen -- >either in control or out of control," described Donaldson. > >"The in control scenario would be, for example, and I think this has got a >high probability: If an explosive device or some other unexplained breach of >cabin integrity occurred at that altitude, you have an explosive >decompression. When you're in the cabin you're going to have an almost >instant ice fog. If the hole's big enough, you're actually going to have >stuff that's going to migrate to that hole and go out. > >"The oxygen masks drop down. You have about 10 to 15 seconds of useful >conscious time. That's a real problem for civilians that have never gone >through this training before. The very first thing you have to do is grab the >mask and put it on your face. If you don't do that you're going to get >confused, and it's a very confusing thing," said Donaldson of what he >believes most likely took place on the plane. > >The pilot is trained to react quickly to such an emergency, something both >Stitch and Donaldson insisted is well known by all commercial pilots. > >"The next thing would be to slam the throttles back to the flight idle >position and actuate wing spoilers. Some aircraft may require the flaps even >to be deployed to get the aircraft at a high drag situation so you can dump >the nose and dive for 10,000 feet," said Donaldson. > >He said he believes the evidence shows that the pilot of EgyptAir 990 was >following these emergency procedures to the letter. Once the plane dropped >10,000 feet the pilot had to end the rapid dive and level it off. That is >when the plane literally came apart in the air because of the forces being >exerted on a badly damaged plane, said Donaldson. > >"The crisis for the pilots is to begin pulling the nose up," said Donaldson. >"If the hull is breached, the strength in a modern aircraft is in the skin of >the vessel itself. It's like an eggshell. Once you crack it, the structure is >nowhere near as strong as it was." > >According to news reports, says Donaldson, "at 19,000 feet, the transponder >stopped and the radar appears to have shown multiple targets. If the airplane >is intact you are going to see one blip all the way. What they' re saying is >that they had multiple targets on the radar. So that means it broke up. It >takes some distance to separate before they are actually discernible as two >pieces on this type of radar." > >Donaldson said he knew right away the truth would be difficult to get to >because President Clinton was making the same evasive statements he made >after the crash of TWA Flight 800. "He said, 'let's not jump to any >conclusions. Let's prove that it's terrorism before we say it's terrorism.' >What he's saying is, assume that Boeing builds a lousy airplane that blows >itself up, and if a terrorist turns himself in, maybe we'll call it >terrorism.
