Subject: Did Directed Energy Weapon bring down flight 587?
Ok...it's a bit far out, but nothing seems too far out in these thru
the looking glass days. Here goes.
The US military has developed and probably deployed "less than
lethal" Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs). Odds are that others have
this technology as well. There are several varieties. The one I would
like to discuss is of the acoustic flavour. They say that it is used
for everything from area denial of people to fatiguing metal.
As an alternative reason for the AA flight 587 breaking apart, I
purpose that there was use of a DEW.
Eye witness accounts say that they saw an "orange glow" around the
body of the plane.

"...Retired firefighter Tom Lynch said he was walking on the beach
when he saw an orange explosion on the plane, just before it
plummeted into the middle-class neighbourhood. "...
Could this be cause from acoustical excitement of the air and water
molecules surrounding the effected metal?
I have included some US military website links with information on
acoustic metal fatigue weapons.
I found these with just a cursory search on google.com which means
there are probably a lot more sites with better and more detailed
info. Have a look for yourself.

"...Another promising technology is high-powered acoustic generators
that are used to produce infrasound (below 20 hertz and inaudible).
This low-frequency, high-decibel sound is emitted in bands that
resonate in certain body cavities, causing the disturbance of body
organs, visual blurring, and nausea. These effects, becoming more
severe as the decibel level increases, range from temporary
discomfort that disappears after a few minutes to permanent damage or
lethality. Additional antimaterial effects include the embrittlement
or fatigue of metals, thermal damage, and the delamination of
composites...."

"...Acoustics: Low frequency, high decibel infrasound from high power
acoustic generators can cause blurred vision, extreme nausea and even
death. Additionally, it can be used to cause metal fatigue, thermal
damage and delamination of composite materials. (Noriega only got
loud music)..."

"...As Infra-sound, or Ultra-sound, you won't hear it, yet the energy
levels can be high enough to make some metals flow like water, and
blast layers of bullet-resistant carbon-fibre into tiny shards..."
