Theres a lot of speculation about TWA Flight 800 so thats pretty interesting. I some how stumbled on CPAN one night and the guy that wrote TWA 800 Crash Cover Up Conspiracy was giving a talk. Listening to the commenters afterwards, all were either engineers, pilots, or former air force and seemed to be in agreement with the author. Theres a TWA Flight 800 documentary as well.

I think you mean C-SPAN. Unless the more nefarious of the Perl hackers have been working overtime. :)

So what. You can find more engineers and pilots who don't believe it was a conspiracy. The human mind tends to invent patterns where none exist in a vain attempt to make sense out of chaos.
