Docu that examines what happened that July night back in 1996, when TWA Flight 800 took off from Kennedy Airport in New York en route to Paris. Minutes later a series of explosions sent the 747 plunging into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 230 people aboard.
Correspondent Reid Collins, a 30-year veteran of CBS News and CNN, narrates this documentary and interviews eyewitnesses, family members of victims and air-crash investigators who have looked into what happened that night. Was the government correct in its conclusion that a spark in the center-wing fuel tank caused the explosion? Or have government officials covered up important facts about the fate of TWA Flight 800?
Could the tragedy have been caused by an Islamic terrorist network? Or did a Naval exercise off the coast of Long Island go terribly wrong? A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says he believes the plane was shot down, and numerous military and civilian experts offer their opinions on what may or may not have happened. Watch this compelling and provocative program and decide for yourself. Has the full story been told? Not until now.
