Physical Evidence Points to Foul-Play in TWA Flight 800 Disaster

(Below are excerpts from a forthcoming story on TWA Flight 800. They are being
released now in the interest of furthering the goal of re-opening the
investigation into that air disaster)

Evidence I have recently uncovered would seem to indicate that the pellets
referred to in the BNLabs report may be an indicator of foul play re: TWA800.
(The pellets being referred to here were recovered from several victims of the
crash at autopsy)

The general consensus among several experts I have contacted indicates the
pellets are CMC's or Ceramic Matrix Composites. (most likely pizeoelectric
ceramics) Boeing has already indicated to me that they are NOT from the
aircraft.

I have investigated the possibility these pellets may have come from the engines
of the 747. However, in conversations and research with Pratt & Whitney I have
ruled this out. Although some CMC's are utilized on P&W later model engines they
were not in use on the engine models which powered TWA Fl800.

Below you will find some information regarding these materials.

Piezoelectric materials generate an electrical voltage when their surfaces are
stretched or compressed as a result of vibration.

Over time, the company began to investigate other applications for its bone
conduction technology. "In the early 70s, we started to work with General
Dynamics on the Stinger Missile System,"

I apologize for not responding earlier. ........ from your description, it
appears that the material could be some type of titanate-zirconate. Ca and Ba
are common elements found in titanates. These are mostly piezoelectric ceramic
materials.

My experience is mostly in mechanical properties of structural type ceramics.
These appear to be electronic ceramics.

In conclusion, it would appear that the NTSB's stated "mechanical failure"
scenario is the LEAST likely among the three categories initially considered --
Bomb, Missile, Mechanical failure.

Based on the foregoing I believe NTSB and FBI should be compelled to re-open
their investigations.
