Australian Broadcasting Corp. covers TWA800 crash investigation controversy

[JohnyCanuck]

The explosion occurred within sight of land on a warm summer evening and several hundred eye witnesses came forward to report seeing a streak of light intercept the plane in mid-air.

After a four year investigation, which was plagued by controversy, safety authorities, the FBI and the CIA all rejected the witness accounts and found the explosion was caused by a spark in the centre fuel tank.

17 years later, new evidence has emerged as to what really happened to TWA 800.

As Charles Wooley reports, some experts are now convinced the plane was struck by one, or more, missiles.
