Federal officials reject
conspiracy in '96 jet crash
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
