Stinger Missile Threat to Airlines

Los Angeles, Alta California - November 13, 2001 - (ACN) Small heat seeking missiles that can be fired from the shoulder by one man is a huge threat to the safety of passengers on U.S. airlines. It is one of the biggest secrets the airline industry does not want you to know. It does not matter how much airport security is implemented, airlines will always be vulnerable to a "Stinger" missile attack while the plane is taking off or landing. In fact, the New York Kennedy Airport crashes of both TWA Flight 800 and the most recent AA Flight 587 may have been caused by an easily available Stinger missile.
There are now thousands of Stinger missiles in the hands of many rogue governments and various terrorist groups around the world and, according to the FBI, in the hands of local groups here in the U.S. On June 12, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms arrested two persons on a sting operation in West Palm Beach, Florida after the two were about to trade a large amount of heroin for stinger missiles. In addition, the U.S. General Accounting Office reported that hundreds of Stinger missiles went missing during the Gulf War and it is a common fact that the CIA supplied over 1,000 Stinger missiles to the Mujhadeen in Afghanistan to fight the soviets. Also, Red China stole the plans for Stinger missiles and they now manufacture thousands of them each year which they do not hesitate to use in trade with rogue governments which in turn supply them to terrorist groups.
A Stinger missile is deadly to passenger airlines as they take off or land. They are small, lightweight and portable and can be easily hidden inside a car or a van. They have heat sensors in the tip and a computer that guides them straight to an airline's engines. They can shoot down an airline as high as 11, 500 feet and are lighting fast at Mach 2.0 or twice the speed of sound. An airline has no chance when a Stinger missile is aimed at it. The pilot would not even see the missile coming and would only react when it hits the engine or an area nearby. The tip of the Stinger missile can be equipped with various types of explosives but just the impact of the missile is enough to bring down a plane. The pilot will hear a thud when the missile hits and people on the ground will hear the same thing and observe a small fireball at the impact point. This exactly what was observed just before the crashes of TWA 800 and AA 587.
The crash of AA 587 on Monday can be explained if one assumes that a Stinger missile hit it. The government is pushing the idea that possibly a "flock of ducks" hit the plane. The explanation is now being refuted by a host of aeronautical engineers and other experts. Only the mainstream media and the government is saying that it was a "flock of ducks" that were possibly sucked into one of the engines. One aeronautical engineer that helped design and test the General Electric engines said that what occurred was definitely not caused by ducks. He said that the engines are design and tested to make sure that no ducks will interfere with the operation of the engines. They fire "frozen turkeys" into the engines while they are being revved to the maximum to make sure that they can take it. The outside shells of the engines are made of "Titanium" so that any rupture or failure of parts within the engines are "contained" within the enclosure and does not injure other critical components nearby. Also, aeronautical engineers that designed the AirBus A300 say that there is no way that the engine separated by itself through any type of structural failure. In the event of an engine failing, the AirBus A300 is designed to fly with only one engine operating. AA 587 was either sabotaged or hit by a Stinger missile is the expert opinion of engineers, pilots and other experts.
The public will eventually hear an explanation that will least disrupt the profits of the airline industry. We know that the government has already turned over billions to the "fatcats" that run the major airlines soon after the September 11 disaster in order to keep them afloat. The government may lie about the true causes of the crash for the same reason.
