Audience Member 1996 FBI interference of a NTSB investigation and didn’t just interfere but altered many multiple pieces of evidence and told 200 witnesses they didn’t see what they ‘thought’ they saw. No conspiracy theories here, hard/soft evidence. WATCH THIS!!! Then request a new NTSB investigation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/19 Full Review Audience Member I try hard to believe in truth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/19 Full Review Audience Member On July 17, 1996, two hundred witnesses saw a streak of light originate from the surface, and make its way up into the sky and strike TWA Flight 800. Pros: - Fantastic extensive work by Kristina Borjesson and Dr. Tom Stalcup, PhD, Physics. Cons: - Goes off topic a few times. Bottom Line: Two hundred people saw an object hit that plane. The original investigation team believes it was an outside explosion. Evidence was deliberately kept away from the investigation team. Factual reports were allowed, but analysis reports were not allowed. The FBI tampered with identification tags. The FBI bullied witnesses. No witnesses were allowed to testify. Explosive reside was found. Radar showed pieces flying away from the plane at tremendous speed after the impact. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Compelling documentary that makes it pretty clear the results of the investigation into this crash were covered-up by the federal government. In fact, it appears the government knew almost immediately this was no accident. As with most "conspiracy theories," take a lot of it with a huge grain of salt, but the filmmakers have much more evidence than most, including big names within the investigation. The final minutes of the documentary take a wrong turn when the narrator and producer focuses on himself and his family. It's nice to hear what motivates him, but this was a real tragedy - his personal tragedy, which had nothing to do with the crash, didn't belong. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done documentary! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Kristina Borjesson's documentary is a resoundingly compelling indictment of the government's official findings for TWA 800, conclusively showing that an internal explosion occurring in the center fuselage was not and could not have been the cause of the crash. Instead, through painstaking research and witness testimony, we see that it was, in fact, three external objects that hit the plane. What makes this documentary so powerful is the sheer number of witnesses, family members, and even lead investigators during the four-year long inquiry that are interviewed, each exposing the fraud, incompetence, and willing disregard for proper protocol during the investigation. Spearheaded by Tom Stalcup, a scientist who spent years studying the crash, the documentary shows numerous experts that recount evidence being altered, erroneous animations shown to the public, and what they really saw. Witnesses relate how their testimony was alerted, and even the blatant intimidation they received. All of this is weaved together in a cohesive manner, with a strong emotional undercurrent. In the end, it's a film that avoids speculation, sticks to the facts, and argues its case so well, there can hardly be any doubt. A must see. 4.5/5 Stars Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
