Subject: TWA800 Cover-up Continues
THE TWA FLIGHT 800 COVER-UP CONTINUES
An Overview of Covered-up Evidence
(c) July 17, 1999 Ian Goddard
Three years after the crash of TWA Flight 800, which
killed 230 people, the Federal Government continues
to keep significant crash evidence hidden from the
public while those who point to this cover-up have
been smeared, arrested, and prosecuted for their
crimes of second-guessing the government's claims
about Flight 800. Let's review a few examples of
the Federal Government's intensive and on-going
effort to keep The People and The Truth separate:
(1) The missile seen rising from the ocean would
require a launch platform. Therefore, the identity
of every vessel in the area is of paramount import.
The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB)
released radar data that identifies several radar
tracks below the Flight 800 crash as "boats." [1]
When Congressman James Traficant asked the FBI if
such boats were identified, the FBI informed him:
(a) one boat that speeds away from the crash scene
out to deep sea is unknown, and (b) the identities
of the other surface vessels are known but shall
remain secret under authority of the Privacy Act.[2]
Amazingly, not long after the FBI told Congressman
Traficant that the identities of the vessels below
the crash will be kept secret, Traficant suddenly
closed his inquiry and concluded that there was not
"a single piece of solid evidence or testimony from
a participant in the investigation that points to a
cover-up." [3] It follows thus that: secret = open.
(2) The author James Sanders released physical
evidence from the crash that was leaked from the
investigation by TWA pilot Captain Terrell Stacy.
The evidence was two small patches of seat cushion
from a group of seats that were covered with a red
residue that may be rocket fuel. Sanders gave CBS
News a patch so that they could test it; instead,
CBS returned it to the cover-up. Sanders took his
patch to a laboratory to have the residue tested.[4]
The findings support Mr. Sanders's fuel theory more
so than the FBI's claim that it's glue. But who is
correct, the FBI or Sanders? We cannot know because
(a) the FBI seized the evidence and made it disappear,
(b) the cushioning that was on the seats was stripped
off and disappeared after the Sanders leak, and (c)
the FBI is withholding the details of their chemical
analysis of the residue. A cover-up in triplicate!
The only news of this to surface in the major media
was the arrest of James Sanders and his wife and the
parading of them in chains before media cameras for
the crime of liberating evidence from the cover-up.
(3) TWA employee and member of the Cabin Interior
Group in the official investigation Linda Kuntz
found that NTSB officials were altering data to
make it appear that seats from the rear of the
plane that were found in the early-debris field
were instead found in the later-debris field.
Linda Kuntz called on the assistance of two New
York Police Officers to photograph the sequence
of alterations. They then informed TWA attorneys,
who informed the NTSB. The NTSB contacted the FBI
to have Kuntz investigated for taking the photo-
graphs. Kuntz was thrown off the "investigation"
and threatened with indictment and prosecution.[5]
(4) A party to the official investigation, NYANG
pilot Major Frederick Meyer (who was also a witness
to the crash) was in charge of transporting a very
important piece of debris from the Calverton hanger
to the FBI's headquarters in Washington. About this
special debris, Meyer told the Village Voice [6]:
"I knew from looking at it that it was the
leading edge of some aerofoil -- horizontal
stabilizer, rudder, or wing -- and it had
punctures in it. We're talking about a
piece of aluminum alloy that is very strong
and rigid. In this were dimples with holes
in the center of the dimple, like something
was driven through with incredible force --
I would say [there were] four to six holes."
Meyer also said the holes "were about 3/4 of an
inch to one inch in diameter." [7] When asked if
the punctures appeared to come from the outside
he replied: "The dimples around each hole indicate
that something passed through from the outside to
the inside." [8] Penetration from the outside to
the inside is prima facie evidence of an external
high-velocity explosion, such as the explosion
a proximity-fused missile warhead could deliver.
Unfortunately the whereabouts of that important
evidence is unknown. Robert Davey, a Village Voice
reporter, tried to tack it down without success. As
he reported in the Village Voice, FBI spokesman Joe
