This is quite similar to the TWA Flight 100 explanation. People wanted a quick answer that didn't scare them.. So, the government blamed the fuel tank. Evidence that was suppressed clearly indicates that the plane was shot down by a missle. After the attacks on September 11, this is even more likely.
I expect that we will get an explanation, but it might not be true or completely accurate. Ignorance can be bliss, if you're not ready for the truth...Greybeard |
