"Conspiracy theories are usually the stuff of cranks.
But sometimes an investigation is done so incompetently that you have to ask yourself whether the results are valid.
One such probe is the investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800, which went down off Long Island 20 years ago Sunday.
Cashill argues that in the case of Flight 800 federal investigators conspired to conceal the possibility that a missile downed the plane by building an argument that the crash was caused by a fuel-tank explosion..."
Newark native Jack Cashill (whose prior bookI covered here) just released a book timed to that anniversary titled "TWA 800: The Crash, the Cover-Up and the Conspiracy."
Early in the book Cashill makes a distinction between conspiracies of the Grassy Knoll variety and garden-variety cover-ups.
The former, such as the idea that some governmental actors were behind the Kennedy assassination, are unlikely because "the generally cautious nature of the American civil servant weighs against that possibility," he writes.
But "conspiracies of concealment are another matter altogether," he writes.Cashill argues that in the case of Flight 800 federal investigators conspired to conceal the possibility that a missile downed the plane by building an argument that the crash was caused by a fuel-tank explosion..."
