You can't fight speculation with fact, because they are not looking for facts. Besides, solid research that contradicts the pre-established belief is trumped by a friend-of-a-friend that told them something that they agree with. Not really worth arguing.

One would think that if it was a missile, the wreckage (including the suspect fuselage section, seats, etc.) would not still be available for those of us that attended the aircraft accident investigation course at the NTSB academy in Ashburn, VA. I've crawled through it for hours at a time, three times now.

Why have anything there that a conspiracy proponent could use for additional fodder?

On my last trip my FO was working for Boeing as an engineer at the time of the incident. He said all the engineers agreed that it wasn't an internal explosion. He didn't speculate and I didn't ask.

Just watched the TWA 800 documentary on Discovery Channel. Immediately followed by a documentary on Chemtrails. That says it all.

I've got a friend that runs a conspiracy radio show. He had a chemtrail guy on there and texted me wanting me to call in. It was really fun owning that guy on live radio. We were respectful to each other, but he was lacking in words to respond by the end of the back and forth.
