ITALIAN CRASH - FAMILIES GET AN ANSWER!
ITALIAN 1980 plane crash probably caused by missile, court says ---Mon, Jan 28 2013
ROME (Reuters) - An Italian court said on Monday the cause of one of the country's most enduring aviation mysteries, a plane that broke up over the coast of Sicily 32 years ago killing 81 people, was most probably a missile hitting the aircraft. The case has divided Italians since the plane went down on June 27, 1980, when Italy was still the scene of both Cold War tensions and domestic militancy from the left and the right. The court, in what is seen as the final ruling of many, said the state must pay damages to the victims' families because the safety of the passengers had not been guaranteed

Left side or right side damaged? Which is it?
Evidence suggested that the plane was damaged on the left-hand side of the plane, in direct line with the Ile de Levant military base. The right hand side would face towards Italy - no military bases or missiles there.
Secret D'état - The book that delves into the crash investigation
This is the book written about the crash and its investigation. The authors uncovered a flawed investigation, full of unanswered questions, peculiarities and an evident unwillingness by the French authorities to fully investigate every possibility that arose. All offers of assistance from third party experts were refused, despite many offers. If one was really after the truth surely no stone would have gone unturned?
Compared to modern day air crash investigations (such as the Air France flight 447- Brazil 2009), held under the glare of the world's media, the Caravelle air crash investigation would never have been accepted.
