  Fascinating time capsule. I remember the TWA flight 800 coverage very well- I was scheduled to fly the same route and flight number the following week. I remember a bit of rampant speculation online back then as well ("eyewitnesses" seeing streaks headed towards the plane that might be SAMs) that I think leaked into TV news. Some things never change

  Interesting to see that NYT gives an IP address link to USA Today. All the links to resources are broken, except the Point de Repere, by a resident of the affected, is still online at the same link, last updated in 2001: http://kbsb.com/FLT800/ http://kbsb.com/FLT800/ I guess that's a point for the "quarterback theorists", and a point against the "official sites".

  That article is 24 years old now. There are people on this forum who were not even born then! My, how time flies.
