[Facts] That's what they say...
...happened to Flight 800 that went down in Long Island's Moriches Bay area in 1996. Some eyewitnesses (a few whom I personally know and also know to be pretty level-headed folks) who were out on their boats that day maintain they saw a streak of light or flame heading up from the bay *towards* the plane.
On the news front: The Taliban got their asses kicked out of Kabul yesterday! :)
