Introduction to Cargo Door Website,

the website that explains the cause of the crashes of TWA 800, Air India 182, UAL 811, and Pan Am 103:

Inadvertent opening of the forward cargo door.


Let me tell you how strange things are in the world today. Even introductions are weird, like this one.
Websites: What about this 'Web thing anyway?
Websites are a bunch of pages. Pages are files. One page is one file and when printed out may equal twenty or more 8 by 11 inch pieces of paper. The cargo door website has hundreds of pages which printed out may equal a thousand pages of papers.
What is the structure of a page? There is a heading, a title, body of text and links to other pages. You can copy the text and pictures to your page. You can link your page to this page.
What is the structure of a website? Right now, anything you want. There is little tradition to obey. You get to do what you want. There is no teacher, no government official, no policeman, no editor, no spouse, no buddy saying you can't do this or you should do this. They can talk all they want but you get to do what you want. And that's why this whole 'web thing is interesting, important, and fun.
Figuratively, today I have discovered the common cause of several aircraft accidents using the web, email, FTP, IRC, and newsgroups plus 35 years of flying experience. Tomorrow it may be you using the same internet capabilities to discover a common disease cause, or a flaw in a manufacturing process or anything else that your experience and knowledge allows you to see a great deal quickly and can make conclusions that you can check and then send out to many.
The structure of the cargo door website just evolved from one page to many. After several hundred pages I decided I needed an introduction. And this introduction is not the usual introduction of a book. So what? When you have your web site, and you will, you get to write your introduction.
The site changes daily. Sometimes it may be persuasive and then after changes, it is not. Oh, well, keep on trying. There is an email link at the bottom of every page where you may communicate directly with the author.
The whole thing's strange and different. And here's why.
The common, the prevailing, the normal beliefs about the crashes of TWA 800 , Air India 182 and Pan Am 103 are:
That a group of men got together secretly and planned to murder innocent people on an airplane. They obtained explosive material, a timer, and a fuze to make a bomb. They placed that bomb on the airplane and it went off killing 230 people and 270 people and 329 people.
Or a different group of people secretly got together and planned to murder innocent people. They obtained a missile, went on a boat or submarine and as the airplane flew over fired the missile at the airplane and hit it causing it to crash.
Or a group of people accidentally killed innocent people on an airplane by firing a missile from an airplane or ship. These people secretly agree to never tell how they fired a missile during normal operations but somehow it got loose and hit an airplane causing it to crash.
These majority held beliefs of groups of men secretly agreeing to act in murder has resulted in the assignment of 500 field agent/investigators working overtime for two months all over the world seeking to prove that belief. Millions of dollars are being spent in the pursuit to confirm the belief of secret men holding secret meeting to cause secret bad events to occur or to hide the secret event once it happened.
Thousands of people are writing supporting stories of the secret men doing secret damage and now secretly hiding it. Thousands of people are photographing visual stories supporting the secret men story and shown on TV. Thousands of people are talking on the radio about secret men doing secret things in planned secret meetings.Thousands of government officials are thinking, writing, talking about secret men to support their leader, the President, who has said the secret men exist and will be caught.
And then I come along. Yes, with just a computer, a phone line, and a scanner plus a lot of common sense, in a converted garage, of course.
My humble theory is that a simple mechanical thing happened and caused the plane to crash. The simple thing has happened before, happened now, and will happen again. The simple thing has been seen visually, heard on tape, recorded on data files, left consequences of action in hundreds of places, and has done it four times. The simple thing is well known to be dangerous in aviation and has had many problems before and many regulations written to try to prevent the simple thing from happening because it is known that the simple thing may be simple but it is extremely dangerous with severe consequences should the simple thing occur. The simple thing that did occur is the forward cargo door inadvertently opening in flight on early model Boeing 747s. I say the simple thing occurred with TWA Flight 800, Pan Am 103, and Air India 182 and UAL 811, and Pan Am 125. Door popped open in flight, oops!
And, now here's the crazy part, here's the weird part, here's the whacko part....I'm the crazy, I'm the weirdo, I'm the whacko. I am ignored in my many requests for discussion about this cause with appropriate government officials. Newspapers treat the theory as a fantasy of an angry boy, ezines place the theory next to alien invasion idea, search engines link like stories about UFOs, letters to the editor of local paper are not printed, and TV ignores the theory, even when invited. Any comment from minor government officials about the cargo door cause is vague, confusing and a brushoff.
I still say there is no conspiracy, no plot, no coverup to conceal the truth of the cargo door cause of the crash. That was no plot, no conspiracy, to cause the simple thing to happen. No one caused the simple thing to happen and now is covering up that cause. No one believes but me and a few of my allies that the simple thing caused the crash. Others in government, or the media, or manufacturing are not concealing the knowledge.
There is no conspiracy to hide the truth.
There is a natural tendency to avoid looking at horror.
The truth is there to see but is not seen because it is so horrible. It is a horrible truth that the simple thing like a door popping open has caused the deaths of so many people and ruined so many lives.
The investigators, the makers, the overseers, and the media are defensively closed minded to the horror of a simple mechanical malfunction of a door popping open and killing so many, especially since they have said previously the simple thing was not the cause of the crashes.
They are deaf to the evidence on cockpit audio tape of the simple thing happening.
They are blind to the photographs, to streaks, to the patterns of the simple thing happening.
They can not feel cam latches, lock sectors, floor beams, FOD, or frayed wire of the simple thing happening.
They refuse to read their own previous reports about similar crashes about the simple thing happening.
They can not read the death certificates of children without their minds going blank with rage and a desire for revenge.
They are not thinking rationally but emotionally.
Why me? Why have I been the only one to discover this great truth of a common accident cause linking four terrible Boeing 747 crashes?
1. I am not involved, I am not a participant, I am not grieving, I am not losing money, I am not losing pride, I am not losing my job, I am not desperate, and I am not afraid.
2. I am curious, I am a pilot, I am a writer, I am computer literate, I am a jet crash survivor, I am financially stable, I am healthy, and I am a free man.
The majority are in category number one, it appears, and believe differently than those few in category number two.
Too bad, but it does explain why I believe that a simple mechanical thing happened and caused the crash of TWA 800 , AI 182, PA 103, and nobody is trying to cover it up. The pursuit of the entire cause of the crash has energized me and made life interesting and worthwhile. It is difficult to persuade the governments of four nations that they were wrong about something they care deeply about and spent a lot of time and money to explain to their own satisfaction. It is difficult to confront experts and prove they were wrong. It is difficult to endure being ignored when presenting vital, urgent, important information to appropriate officials entrusted with the public safety.
Being a free man also explains why the course of investigation and the will of the people is to believe-- it was not their fault, it's someone else's fault, there is nothing they can do about it, and life is really, really, unfair, cruel, and depressing. Most people are not free. They do worry about their money, their job, their house, their family first. A cargo door malfunction may threaten their lives. It is difficult to work hard at something that may destroy your life. The blame for failure is always tried out first on strangers before examining self cautiously.
Authority is out of touch with reality because it is so horrible. They are out of touch with reality when they disregard the hard evidence they can see, hear, feel in their hands and start believing entertaining nonsense that could be true instead. They ignore the real things and believe in the fantasy things. Wishful thinking tries to become reality. For the future yes, but not the past. History must be as accurate as possible; science fiction can be as entertaining as possible. This web site is history. Even history has a negative meaning nowadays, meaning over, forgotten, not important, skip it. Disregarding history is like waking up each morning not remembering anything that happened yesterday or the day before. The wheel must be reinvented every day. What a waste. Dangers must be relearned every day. Outward opening doors on pressurized hulls that malfunction must kill and kill and kill and kill before the danger is realized. Disregard history at your own peril.
Reader of this website: Keep the bombs and missiles, and plots and conspiracy and coverups for the movies and keep the conservative conclusions based upon corroborative hard evidence in real life. Defer to reality.
A forward cargo door opened in flight on TWA 800 and caused that plane to crash. Get to that point of thought based upon the evidence presented in the many pages of the Cargo Door website. The evidence may be contradictory, the conclusions of experts may be confusing, the preponderance of objects may be overwhelming, but you must think for yourself. Use whatever thought sequences you use to come to conclusions and use them on this investigation.
Forward cargo doors have opened and caused crashes of Boeing 747s: Air India Flight 182 of 1985, Pan Am 103 of 1988, UAL 811 of 1989, and now TWA 800 in 1996. The reason why the doors open in flight is still a mystery. There are many hypotheses but none is proven conclusively. Bomb is one suggestion, cargo shift another, and electrical short plus others. Do you have any ideas? Send them to me.
So the hazard still exists. A Boeing 747, TWA 800, has recently crashed mysteriously and about a thousand Boeing 747s still keep on flying with no corrective action taken but crossing your fingers behind your back and hope to die.
Comment: This is not how you would do it, I know, and I encourage you to start immediately your own web site concerning your interests.
