Trans World Airlines Flight 800 (TWA 800) was a Boeing 747-100 that exploded and crashed
into the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York, on July 17, 1996, at about 8:31
p.m. EDT, 12 minutes after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport on a
scheduled international passenger flight to Rome, with a stopover in Paris.
All 230
people on board died in the crash; it is the third-deadliest aviation accident in U.S.
history. Accident investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
traveled to the scene, arriving the following morning amid speculation that a terrorist
attack was the cause of the crash. Consequently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
New York Police Department (FBI-NYPD) Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) initiated a
parallel criminal investigation. Sixteen months later, the JTTF announced that no
evidence of a criminal act had been found and closed its active investigation.
