TWA 800, Swiss Air 111, and Egypt Air 990

Professor Elaine Scarry made some provocative claims about the crashes of TWA 800, Swiss Air 111, and Egypt Air 990:

Since TWA 800 is back in the news, these articles are worth looking at again. They demonstrate that government investigations overlook (or never bother to find) crucial information in their rush to bolster the fed's preconceived judgments.


Uncle Sam apparently is more interested in closing cases than in finding the truth.

By the way, why were the feds so determined to show that Egypt Air 990 was "terrorism" but that TWA 800 was not? Each and every event must be treated the same, and each and every possibility must be investigated and not just dismissed because some bigwig says so.
