WASHINGTON - Current and former federal officials who investigated one of the nation's worst aviation disasters said yesterday they stand by their conclusion that the crash of TWA Flight 800 was caused by an accidental fuel-tank explosion, not a bomb or missile.
The officials spoke at a briefing on the National Transportation Safety Board's four-year investigation of the crash of the Boeing 747 off Long Island, N.Y., on July 17, 1996; all 230 people on board were killed. The officials dismissed allegations of a cover-up.
A documentary film set to air this month on the 17th anniversary of the tragedy says new evidence points to the often-discounted theory that a missile downed the jet
