JFK JR.'S PLANE DESTROYED BY `BIG BANG MACHINE'?

UPTON, New York (Wireless Flash) -- Add yet another JFK, Jr. conspiracy theory to the list: The accident may have been caused by a "Big Bang Machine." The device -- a particle accelerator installed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island -- was tested for the first time on Friday evening, the same night Kennedy's plane crashed. The official word is that the accelerator is being used to recreate conditions just moments after the universe's "Big Bang" -- but others think the device is an experimental weapon. Theorist Ru Mills says it's possible the particle beam was set off deliberately to obliterate the plane and its passengers, which explains why investigators have found no major wreckage. Some conspiracy researchers also believe the crash of TWA Flight 800 was caused by a similar particle beam test at Brookhaven. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the government-run lab says the accusations are ridiculous because the particle accelerator is buried 15 feet underground and can't be pointed upward.
