Government Personnel Shifting Blame? Government personnel shifted the blame for the downing of American Airlines Flight 587 from what appeared to be a terrorist act to a structural failure of the rudder assembly. The blame was on slight turbulence that may have existed. That excuse was recognized as fabrication by any pilot with years of experience with extreme turbulence. Also, by knowledge of aircraft that due to combat or other severe encounter lost their rudder assembly and were flyable. As with TWA Flight 800, witness statements showing clear evidence of a fire or bomb explosion were covered up, and fabricated blame was presented to the mostly unqualified and naive American public. Covering Up For Major Witness Statements Witness statement to the NTSB by one of many professional police and firemen who witnessed an explosion and fire in the rear of American Airlines Flight 587 that crashed shortly after takeoff from New York's JFK Airport. That crash happened shortly after the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001. The political NTSB blamed the crash on failure of the rudder, despite the fact that large four-engine aircraft have been known to remain controllable after the loss of the entire vertical fin and rudder. The political NTSB board members have a long history of doctoring official accident reports. Many witness statements to the downing of TWA Flight 800 and American Airlines Flight 587 are listed in the book, History of Aviation Disasters: 1950 to 9/11. The possibly reasons for the lying by NTSB political board members and DOJ personnel, a not uncommon occurrence, would include: Desire to prevent financial harm to airlines by passengers suddenly refusing to fly. Desire to shift attention from another terrorist success that could then focus attention on prior terrorist successes−and the corrupt actions of DOJ personnel in making the successes possible.
