The April 9 New York Review of Books has published a long special supplement, "The Fall of TWA 800: The Possibility of Electromagnetic Interference," by Elaine Scarry, a noted author and Harvard professor: http://jya.com/twa800-emi.htm (128K with 3 images) The article closely examines the possibility of electromagnetic interference in TWA 800's controls, comm, and black boxes by activities of the ten US military planes and ships in the vicinity which were heavily equipped for electronic warfare and were conducting tests of the gear. It is reports on what is publically known about the EM armaments of planes and ships in the vicinity, about secret EM weapons and defenses, the several dozen military and commercial planes that have crashed due to EMI, military studies of long-standing EM hazards which will not be released to crash investigators, current research in EMI and what scientists in the field think about the possibility of EMI causing the fall of TWA 800. It calls for the military to release its classified EMI research to NTSB investigators, and short of that, for the servicemen and women on the planes and ships at the scene to tell what they know. It asks Congress to order military cooperation. Not at all inflammatory or accusatory, it is thoroughly researched (over 100 notes and citations) and highly informative on the hazards of EMI, and worthy of ciritque by learned scientists in the field here. Coda: Ron Brown's crash is not mentioned but its characteristics fit several other EMI accidents for which the military will not release findings, claiming that national security EM weapons secrets would be jeopardized.
