Right On!!
It's great to see others finally call out the government on TWA 800, 9/11, the USS Liberty attack, Chemtrailing, Area 51 Alien Body Recovery, and the Myth of the Moon Landing.

Here is another one of the many, many insidious government cover-ups that I want to see exposed here: The introduction of Fluoride into the American Drinking Water Supply!
At about 27:00 in the eye-opening documentary 'The Great Culling', David Kennedy says that fluoride is defined as a violent protoplasmic poison in the Webster's dictionary.
Here is another important video of a military officer explaining the Dangers of Fluoride:

As usual, some folks like to speculate and postulate because you do not have to back up these kinds of musings with confirmed data and facts.

Nothing new in all this stuff, move along lookie loos.

Nahhh, don't move along, keep asking questions and demanding answers from those who like to keep secrets and then bristle when you dare challenge the "norm". More power to ya.

This sounds like NSA argumentation, pre-Snowdon. "Nothin' to see here, jest keep movin', everything normal, keep drinkin' the Kool-Aid." Sam

Oh brother! Yes because Snowden enlightend us so much with such valuable information he released (NOT!).

Speaking of sipping to much kool-aid....too funny.

"I've got a great idea! Let's launch a surface to air missile outside of any legal weapons range! It'll be awesome! We'll get all 220 crew members on board with this!"

"Rock on, brother! I'll spin up the gyros and get the radar warmed up."

"Missile away! Missile Away! Yeee hawwww! Go baby, go!"

"Aw crap. It hit a 747... Everyone's dead."

"No worries. I'll swear all 220 people to secrecy. Since this is the military, an arm of the government, there's no way that anyone will ever, ever talk! They'll swallow this mass murder like sheep, because we are, after all, military killer types, with no conscience. All we care about is keeping secrets from the people."

Default TWA 800 Rockets

I have just watched a documentary on TWA 800. There have been a lot of topics discussed, one of them is a rocket locked TWA 800, probably accidently, and, then, when the mistake is realised, the rocket has been exploded manually.

I have not, however, heard a theory I would like to suggest. There may have been rockets involved, most likely shot by terrorists, who do NOT want to be known for various reasons, one of them may be to negotiate something secretly and to use there abilities to bargain. Kind of " smart " terrorists.

The rockets may not have contained heads at all, i. e. have been equipped with dummy heads.

The rockets have been heat seekers or camera controlled : advanced for advanced terrorists? Not really. Even children could make them in the 80's and 90's.

The rockets have been propelled by a similar to the airplane fuel or by any.

The rockets have been loaded with just enough fuel to reach the airplane whose path has been well known by, say, a simple observation.

Two of these rockets were shot as per witness accounts although one would have been just as good.

The rocket or rockets did nothing but MECHANICALLY SMASHED INTO THE AIRPLANE. No war heads, no explosion. The rockets either smashed into the airplane or into the engines. In case they had smashed into the engines, any residue would have been impossible to detect. Similar applies to any other place of mechanical collision.

The mechanical bang was sufficient to cause a damage to the airplane which continued into the known events.

I wonder whether such a scenario is possible.

I am 100% sure, however, such rockets were extremely easy to manufacture and even to transport into the US or, even easier, into the yachts in or, even easierer, near US waters. No head, no problems. Everyone could have a few in the backyard or garage.

The reason that theory has not been suggested is because there's no evidence of it. That accident is a good example of the issues with interviewing witnesses, as several of them gave completely contradictory accounts and said things that would have been impossible from their angle. Fuel tank explosions on boeings no less was a long known issue, with several catastrophic accidents prior.

Children can make middle guidance systems?

I've seen people concoct wild stories, conspiracies and rationalization that "seem" to make sense because the person thought out a whole line of reasoning and supporting scenarios, but "ways something could happen" is not evidence that it happened that way. What's even more troubling is when we don't have a good idea why a certain event happened-our minds kind of start going crazy and we start believing all sorts of crazy things, it's very hard to keep an open mind and admit "we don't know (yet)", rather than try to assign some meaning or explanation.

^^ +1.

True missile-guidance systems are NOT easy to make. Radio-control model? Sure...but not realistic for the speed of a weapon, or the target.....not to mention radio-range.

If you knew the difficulties of getting a modern missile to track, guide, and hit a target, you'd know this is preposterous.

Can MANPADS be smuggled in? Obviously. But they are limited in envelope, and they leave distinct evidence in the wreckage, yes, even if it crashes in water.

Jet fuel for propulsion? How big is the engine? Liquid fueled rocket? Requires an oxidizer.

For someone without the technical background, your theory can sound reasonable. But the science isn't there.

The last line of data from the flight data recorder shows an instantaneous drop in altitude of 4,000 feet, a decrease in airspeed of 200 knots, and an angle of attack that goes from plus three degrees to plus 107 degrees. This line was later deleted from the final report as "unreliable" but is available in earlier released data. It sounds a whole lot like a pressure wave from an external explosion to me.
