turn (by the FBI,usually) in completing a customary and normal investigation of the crash. They are all retired now and obviously felt it was safe coming forward now. Many of the points made are very relevant and, as a personal note, I found that the bullshit story put forth that explosive residue found in/on the plane was from a left-behind explosive used to train bomb-sniffing dogs -- well, anyone who trains those dogs will tell you that generally they are NOT trained with a big chunk of C4, for god's sake. Usually, training aids are a RAG that has been wiped on C4/dynamite/black powder. Dogs' noses are insanely sensitive and don't need any more than that. IOW, only traces of explosives on a rag, kept in a closed container which is opened slightly when training dogs, would be on that plane EVEN IF such a dog-training event had happened on that plane. And there was evidence that no such training event took place.

Even though there were nearly 700 witnesses to a missle-like object(s) going up toward the plane, NO witnesses were ever called to testify. In fact, several witnesses were subtly threatened to shut up.

So yes, it was convincing.

I wanted to watch it, but I already had a free trial and don't want to sign up just for one original. Do you know if anyone else will carry it?

Wow, it's compelling. When the FBI agent explains that eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable, and the interviewer points out that they're all telling the same unreliable story; I laughed out loud. If nothing else, it proves the government was lying.

men, etc., and the FBI just treated them all like idiots or fantasizers. And that business about the plane breaking in two and the body going UP 2,000 feet, then falling.....please. Pilots were laughing at that. And as one of the retired investigators said: "What the hell is the CIA doing making a video to explain what happened in a civilian airliner accident? What is the CIA doing anywhere near an NTSB investigation?"
