TWA 800

The Crash, the Cover-Up, and the Conspiracy

De: Jack Cashill

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

What really happened to TWA 800? On the 20th anniversary of the crash, author Jack Cashill reveals shocking new evidence.

TWA Flight 800 crashed into the Atlantic shortly after takeoff from JFK Airport on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 passengers onboard. Although initial reports suggested a terrorist attack, FBI and NTSB investigators blamed a fuel-tank explosion. But skeptics have long questioned the official story, and new evidence has surfaced that suggests a widespread conspiracy.

In TWA 800, historian Jack Cashill introduces new documents and testimonies that reveal the shocking true chain of events, from the disastrous crash to the high-level decision to create a cover story and the attempts to silence anyone who dared speak the truth.

A must read

Amazing writing and bringing forth of information not typically made to public in a clear and concise manner! Very good read!

Interesting listen

Thus book isworth a listen for sure, check it out. I'll have to do more research on TWA 800.

wow

a little redundant, think the story could have been covered in less time, but impactful. definitely worth the listen

Far More Than Another Anti-Clinton Screed

What made the experience of listening to TWA 800 the most enjoyable?

The way Cashill packs an incredible amount of information into an enjoyable narrative.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack Cashill. He takes the listener along on the journey of his investigation of TWA 800 and his mostly unsuccessful attempts to try to bring the story to the elite media. Cashill and I probably don't agree on much politically but he has my highest regard.

What about Richard Ferrone’s performance did you like?

That he didn't get in the way of Cashill's narrative too much and didn't mispronounce many words. As I think another reviewer said his style is a little too close to that of Robert Stack in his Unsolved Mysteries days. This comes off as a little cheesy but overall it didn't distract me too much. He also mispronounces the last name of Clinton official Jaime Gorelick, whose name comes up a lot.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had recently watched the excellent documentary "TWA Flight 800" and wanted to read a book on the subject. This was perfect. I found the information credible and well presented. I came away convinced. I used to be a huge skeptic about conspiracy theories. Now I don't even like to use that term because it discourages rational thought. If Cashill is right, which I believe he is, we cannot rely on our press, or our government, to give us accurate information about the most significant events of our times. Some of you might think that's obvious but this book really made that sink in for me.

Any additional comments?

I held off getting this one for a while because some of the reviews suggested that Cashill got a little carried away with the anti-Clinton rhetoric. One even charged that this was just another right wing election year polemic, like the kind Roger Stone has been putting out. As a man of the left I assure you it is not. It is possible the publisher thought the book would have added relevance with Hillary running but Cashill has been on this story for decades and is one of the leading independent researchers on the subject. Yes he does mention Benghazi, and compares the cover-up to TWA 800, but it's really for only a few paragraphs. You can easily skip them if you can't stand to read another word about Benghazi. I do think Cashill gives undo weight to the fact that this happened during the Bill Clinton presidency. I think most presidents would have tried to cover up this incident, especially in an election year.

So many eye witnessess...

I always thought this was a missile and have followed this story from the beginning so I was familiar with most of the material presented. This story provides great details about what might have happened but not conclusive and sadly, likely we never will know for sure. Great narrator.

Don’t believe your eyes……

Don’t believe your eyes, the FBI and CIA will tell you what REALLY HAPPENED. 257 witnesses saw what appeared to be a missile, but we cannot have such a thing affect an election, now can we? Especially not if the candidate is a democrat, and certainly not if the candidate is a Clinton….. No worries, the NYT is ready to be the mouthpiece of the government bureaucracies/democrat party (I know, that’s kind of an oxymoron, they’re one in the same) both then, and now. Don’t believe your eyes and ears, they will tell you what you actually heard and saw!

If only we had a freethinking press

The information in this book is excellent. It puts the story together in a very concise manner. I would say the narration though it is professional sounding does make me think of shows like “a current affair“, “unsolved mysteries“.

Biggest coverup ever…More people need to read this!!!!!!

1996 seems like ancient history. I remember this happening. Watching on the news and immediately questioning what was happening with the FBI involvement and later the CIA. This investigation should be reopened and the truth exposed.

not for the aluminum foil hat crowd.

This is interesting. It sounds like a career chaging snafu that could have cost Clinton his job. It was Bengazi before Begazi.

Thinly veiled partisan attack book

I agree with most of the research and conclusions regarding TWA800. I have never believed the fuel tank explosion story. However, it became apparent this is just a republican attack ad in book form, and that distracted from the legitimate investigation. Look at when it was released. This was a book to bash the Clinton's, disguised as an investigation into TWA 800. Even if I agree with the general gist of the story, and I am no big fan of the Clinton's, I got tired of the references to Benghazi and other tired Clinton attacks.
