TWA Flight 800

On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a 747 departing from JFK Airport in New York, bound for Paris, exploded in midair just east of Long Island, killing all 230 passengers and crew on board. Shortly afterwards, witness reports started to emerge about a streak of light, possibly a flare, a firework, or perhaps even a missile, was seen streaking through the sky and impacting the aircraft causing a massive fireball. Was it a terrorist attack? A Navy accident? The NTSB and FBI have said no. But that's definitely not the end of this story. Join Brett and Phil as they discuss much more than just the technical details of the tragedy of TWA Flight 800.
