So the Lockerbie 747 crashed because of a short-circuit technical failure ?!
 

I do not like the "sensational" boasting tone, but ..

This was entirely new to me - interesting, i wonder what Ghaddafi would have said to this, or did he ?
And especially the agencies, who accused him of an act of terror, against this 747.
:hmmm:

Now maybe I am getting really senile in my old age but if I recall correctly it wasn't TWA, it wasn't departing NY and it didn't crash in the Atlantic.
Maybe I am thinking of a different Lockerbie though.:hmmm:

Wrong 747. The one in the video went into the ocean somewhere off Long Island in 1996. There was some speculation of an errant Navy missile being the cause but that was never proven.

Definitely the wrong one. :doh:

Very fishy.

Apart from that ^, all other details are right :D - ok wrong flight, sorry all.
This is about an alleged missile attack on another 747, but was not - nothing to do with Lockerbie.

One detail, but I find it quite an important one.

So where does a Libyan leader now fit in? (sorry if it's answered in the video, TLDW.)

Flight 800 747 thought to be brought down by a missle, but was said to be a short circuit in fuel tank sawed the nose off just ahead of the wing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWkWXBTsgsA
