in the 80s the federal government intentionally crashed a airplane. this is not a conspiracy theory from a rand paul website. this actually happened and the plane was not a prototype, or on milt airplane. what they crashed on purpose was a full size commercial airliner. it happened in california. the government took a boeing 720 airliner in the desert and crashed it in the ground. the idea was to test a new fuel additive to make it less combustible. could it haem them from bursting into planes on crash. they flew the plane. by remote control and this is how it went.
