WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House, suspecting terrorism, readied plans for retaliation in the Middle East when TWA Flight 800 exploded over the ocean in 1996 after takeoff from New York, killing all 230 people on board.

"I think our first thought when we got the news was that it was terrorism," President Clinton's national security adviser, Anthony Lake, told CNN. "We especially wanted to look for an Iranian connection."

1. good catch
and don't forget the little fearmongering bullet point at the top: "Could TWA 800 happen again? Why passengers are still at risk. "CNN Presents: No Survivors" airs Saturday and Sunday at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET."

:scared: :eyes:
