#2I'm from Long Island and clearly remember this. This is a pretty shocking possibility.

#3Wow, how does discovery work when there are legit natsec concerns?

#5If this were true, why aren’t they suing for the extraordinary coverup actions? Surely a whole lot of people up to the president should have been aware of this.

#6This is one of those conspiracies that always seemed probably true, based on my cursory examination of the evidence.
Or the other way, assume a weapons test went horribly wrong; what would the result be?

#7I was always curious about how so many witnesses saw a streak of light shoot up to the plane which then exploded. I was never convinced by the video the CIA released that explained what those witnesses actually saw was a trail of burning jet fuel going away from the plane.

I'm not sure what the legitimate national security concern would be for "we accidentally shot down an airliner 26 years ago".

IANAL, far from it, but normally the other party gets emails and other communications.
How does that work when everything is classified?

The theory isn't just "it's burning jet fuel", though; it's that the plane broke apart, and that the now tail-heavy back section with the wings flew upwards as the nose fell to the water. It's not an insane idea, and is at least partially backed by radar data.
