August 27, 1996: Open Lines - The Missile Theory Behind TWA Flight 800

Art Bell gives the phones to callers advancing and challenging the theory that a missile destroyed TWA Flight 800.

Witness accounts, military exercise claims, radar questions, and competing mechanical explanations are examined against the information then available. Art asks what evidence would separate a missile strike from a catastrophic aircraft failure and why confidence in the investigation is so divided.
