The 30-knot track is at the bottom center of the image.Trace amounts of explosive residue were detected on three samples of material from three separate locations of the recovered airplane wreckage (described by the FBI as a piece of canvas-like material and two pieces of a floor panel).Further examination of the airplane structure, seats, and other interior components found no damage typically associated with a high-energy explosion of a bomb or missile warhead ("severe pitting, cratering, petalling, or hot gas washing").The NTSB considered the possibility that the explosive residue was due to contamination from the aircraft's use in 1991 transporting troops during the Although it was unable to determine the exact source of the trace amounts of explosive residue found on the wreckage, the lack of any other corroborating evidence associated with a high-energy explosion led the NTSB to conclude that "the in-flight breakup of TWA flight 800 was not initiated by a bomb or missile strike. TWA Flight 800 Explodes Over the Atlantic Near New York From:Explosive Proof. "After missile visibility tests were conducted in April 2000, at Because of their unique vantage points or the level of precision and detail provided in their accounts, five witness accounts generated special interest:The NTSB concluded that "the witness observations of a streak of light were not related to a missile and that the streak of light reported by most of these witnesses was burning fuel from the accident airplane in crippled flight during some portion of the post-explosion, preimpact breakup sequence".To determine what ignited the flammable fuel-air vapor in the CWT and caused the explosion, the NTSB evaluated numerous potential ignition sources. The relinquishment of investigative priority by the [NTSB] shall not otherwise affect the authority of the [NTSB] to continue its investigation under this sectionPossible ignition sources of the center wing fuel tankPossible ignition sources of the center wing fuel tankCaptain Kevorkian had over 18,800 flight hours, including 5,490 hours on the Boeing 747.
But as the complex crash investigation drags on, there are growing fears that another disaster could be just around the corner. Previous. As flight engineer trainee, Krick was seated in the flight engineer's seat, Campbell was seated in the cockpit jump seat. 6 "Sky Crimes" PSA Flight 1771 Pan Am Flight 103 The FBI's earliest investigations and interviews, later used by the NTSB, were performed under the assumption of a missile attack, a fact noted in the NTSB's final report. In 2005, the NTSB and the FBI entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that states that, “[i]n the immediate aftermath of a transportation accident, the NTSB is the presumptive lead investigative agency and will assume control of the accident scene.” The FBI may still conduct a criminal investigation, but the NTSB investigation has priority. A few minutes later a terrific explosion separates the nose and cockpit from the rest of the airplane. The new statutory language and the MOU have improved coordination between the NTSB and FBI since the TWA flight 800 accident.
Flight engineer trainee Krick was the least experienced of the crew; he had 2,520 flight hours, though only 30 of them were on the Boeing 747. With a possible terror attack on their hands, the FBI joins investigators from the NTSB The source of ignition energy for the explosion could not be determined with certainty, but, of the sources evaluated by the investigation, the most likely was a short circuit outside of the CWT that allowed excessive voltage to enter it through electrical wiring associated with the fuel quantity indication system.In addition to the probable cause, the NTSB found the following contributing factors to the accident:During the course of its investigation, and in its final report, the NTSB issued fifteen safety recommendations, mostly covering fuel tank and wiring-related issues.The NTSB's conclusions about the cause of the TWA 800 disaster took four years and one month to be published.

In the case of the 747-100 series, the only wiring located inside the CWT is that which is associated with the FQIS.In order for the FQIS to have been Flight 800's ignition source, a transfer of higher-than-normal voltage to the FQIS would have needed to occur, as well as some mechanism whereby the excess energy was released by the FQIS wiring into the CWT.
