What you heard was the last words transmitted on the radios of Trans World Airlines Flight 800. This is one of the highest profile aviation disasters to have ever occurred in the United States. It has been the subject of many conspiracies over the years that we won’t be entertaining today. But we will delve into this flight and with the help of the published report from those who conducted the investigation, unpack the events that led the devastation that took the lives of 230 people.
July 17th, 1996, was much like any other day. For those who worked at New York’s John F Kennedy Airport, it was a normal summer Wednesday. JFK Airport was the hub for Trans World Airlines or TWA for short. TWA is now a long defunct airline but at one point they were one of the largest air carriers in the United States.

But questions soon arose regarding the crash: What exactly happened on the flight? Was the explosion an act of terrorism, or a faulty piece of equipment? And was a missile actually involved? Let’s take a look at the incident, its witnesses, and the investigation that came after. This is the tragic true story of TWA Flight 800.
