I have personally studied the TWA Flight 800 accident for almost two years. I have spoken with FBI agents who assisted in the investigation, spoken to NTSB investigators and two Naval officers who were involved in operations near the crash site. I cannot confirm or deny what brought down Flight 800.
It just so happened that we had landed just a few minutes prior to their taking off. I still remember passing Flight 800 on the taxiway as we taxied to the gate. In fact, I had spoken to Captain Steven Snider just two days before his fatal flight. Snider was on that flight just as a check Captain, which is a Captain that is considered to be at the top of his game and goes on the flight to evaluate the Captain flying the plane.
