4.0 out of 5 stars "No Conspiracy Theory Here. Nicely presented case.", November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: TWA 800: Accident or Incident ? (Paperback)

After all the conspiracy theories laid out by anyone with access to the Internet, it's nice to see two men of very knowledgable and repected backgrounds come together to lay out their case. While they don't say it with 100-percent asuredness, Parlier and Ready make a good case that a terrorist missile downed TWA 800. The likely suspects -- Iran. Both men lay out a very compelling case against Iran, citing their past history with terrorism, their public rhetoric and actions directed against the U.S., and their most likely reason, vengence for the Iranian Air bus shootdown in 1988. Eyewitness testimony, radar tapes and accident reports are all brought into play. A dramatized scenerio on how Iran could have pulled off such an attack is also presented, as is why the U.S. Government may not want certain things about the crashed to be released publicly in the here and now.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Intriguing Possibility!, March 28, 2002

This review is from: TWA 800: Accident or Incident ? (Paperback)

A very well researched and interesting book. Lots of information on terrorists and possible culprits of the air disaster. I like the fact chapter/fictionalized chapter concept of writing, letting the reader knwo what are hard facts and what is speculation by the authros.

3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing., March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: TWA 800: Accident or Incident ? (Paperback)

A plausible scenario, but doubtful as the issue of the stray fax. If that fax accidentally sent to an unknown housewife is legitimate, and I believe that it is, the Iran theory may be the wrong answer. For those who do not know, the FBI accidentally sent a fax to a home address instead of a Navy missile manufacturer, asking if they could identify drone wreckage found with the TWA 800 wreckage as something built by them. If the Iran scenario is true, however, then it has serious implications for other Western governments and defence forces.
