wts54:
First of all, I NEVER claimed it climbed a few thousand feet. Where did I say that?
Now let me teach you a lesson about credible information. I was going to give you Jim Hall's phone number from the NTSB, but I changed my mind.
I found the following quote on the NTSB website: Officially, the streak was attributed to Flight 800 in flames, as it climbed into the air on an eastern track.
Below is the full text. So wts54...I've provided you with credible information. From the NTSB - I think even you would agree that they are the most credible source for aircraft accident data. That's if untied.com doesn't branch off into accident investigations.
SO...yes the aircraft did climb with the nose section gone. Hope you learned a lesson on the power of credible information as opposed to personal opinion/rumor.
NTSB Conclusions
The NTSB concluded that the observed rising streak was Flight 800 after it exploded. Officially, the streak was attributed to Flight 800 in flames, as it climbed into the air on an eastern track. The cause of the initial explosion aboard Flight 800 has not been determined, but federal investigators believe it involved the presence of volatile vapors in the jetliner's center fuel tank.[12]
NTSB Witness Group Chairman Dr. David Mayer explained the above crash scenario during a presentation at an August 2000 NTSB hearing on the crash. Dr. Mayer said that most of the 258 streak of light accounts were consistent with the above scenario and that fifty-six were not.[2]
