TWA Flight 800 was destroyed in 1996, killing all 230 people on board, in a fireball just out of New York. In spite of over 250 eyewitnesses reporting that they saw something like a missile, the most expensive NTSB investigation in US history concluded on August 23, 2000 that its explosion was due to an internal failure of the plane.[1]

Official narrative
TWA Flight 800 spontaneously exploded, probably caused by a random spark igniting one of the gas tanks. Over 250 eyewitnesses spoke of a missile were mistaken due to an optical illusion. The CIA produced a video explaining how this might look, adding an explanatory message in large text: “There Was No Missile.”[2]
Initial reports
Over 250 people said they saw something streaking toward the plane and then an explosion[2][3][4]. Many believed that the cause of the crash was a surface-to-air missile attack.[5][6][7]
| A video about TWA 800 by Jack Cashill |
Roy Unz writes that a home video of a missile striking and destroying TWA 800, was sold for more than $50,000 and briefly broadcast on the MSNBC cable news channel before reportedly being seized as evidence by FBI agents.[2]
WhatReallyHappened reports that the US Navy "kicked out the New York Police Department divers, who had legal jurisdiction in the area", and sent its own deep salvage vessels to the area, and searched as wide as searched out 20 miles to either side of the known debris field. Information was leaked by the FBI and the US Navy which implied that there was an object of extreme biological danger aboard Flight 800, one which posed a serious risk to anyone who picked it up. Although later retracted, the story, coupled with reports of bio-suited soldiers along the beaches of Long Island, created the impression that the FBI and NTSB did not want anyone looking too closely at any of the wreckage.[8]
==Press Conference==- The film Shadows of Liberty includes footage of an early FBI press conference about the fate of TWA Flight 800 at which an activist asked "Why is the navy involved in the recovery when they are a suspect?" By way of answer, the chairman just pointed at him and declared "Remove him!" and he was summarily manhandled out of the room by 4 or 5 suited men. The commercially-controlled media 'journalists' continued with their set questions as if nothing had happened.
NTSB investigation
Many eye-witnesses claimed they had seen a streak of fire heading towards the plane before it crashed[1] and the initial NTSB investigation concluded that the cause was most likely criminal, so it passed control to the FBI, since the NTSB does not investigate criminal cases.[9] In the case of TWA 800, the FBI initiated a parallel criminal investigation alongside the NTSB's accident investigation.[10]
The four-year NTSB investigation concluded on August 23, 2000, ending the most expensive air disaster investigation in United States history. It concluded that the crash was caused by a gas tank explosion.[1]
Aftermath
The wreckage is permanently stored in a custom-built NTSB facility in Ashburn, Virginia. The reconstructed aircraft is used to train accident investigators.[11][12]
Failure to tighten standards
Pilot, accident investigator and author Rodney Stich (who published a book critical of the TWA800 official narrative) notes that safety regulations as regards fuel tanks were not tightened as a result of the event, "providing further support to the fact that no one, including the aircraft manufacturer, believes that a spark was involved".[13]
Boeing's difference of opinion
As evidence of Boeing's position, Rodney Stich quotes a December 9, 1999 The Seattle Times article that "The Boeing Co. said this week that the lack of evidence as to what sparked the blast that downed TWA Flight 800 three years ago points to an "external source," such as a bomb or missile. Boeing's statement in court documents Tuesday is the strongest to date revealing an aggressive legal defense that blames the 747 crash on a bomb or missile—which the FBI and National Transportation Safety Board long ago ruled out."[14]
Notable passengers
Some of the notable passengers on TWA 800 included:[15]
- Pam Lychner, American crime victims' rights advocate
- Rodolphe Mérieux, physician, son of Alain Mérieux, the president of the pharmaceutical company Merieux Laboratories which is the primary researcher in aids vaccines.
- Charles Beatty, 50, senior systems engineer with the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, a Navy Research and Development Center
- Charles H. "Hank" Gray, 47, president and chief operating officer of Midland Financial Group, Inc. (which has many ties to Arkansas)[16]
