  • Letter to the 9-11 Commission
    National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 301 7th Street, SW Room 5125 Washington, DC 20407 July 17, 2003 Dear Members of the 9-11 Commission: Recently, I wrote to you about Terrorist Missile Activity in the NY – Washington metropolitan areas. A copy of this correspondence is attached at the end of this letter. In that earlier correspondence I suggested that you reexamine missile activity which was reported both prior to and following the TWA 800 crash. On this anniversary of the TWA crash I would like to submit for your consideration a detailed summary of the eyewitnesses’ statements to the FBI, NTSB and other investigative agencies and media. These statements refute the government’s conclusion that the initiating event for the TWA 800 crash was an explosion of the center wing fuel tank. For example, you will find in the reports below the testimony of several pilots who flew over the smoke cloud from the center wing fuel tank detonation. TWA 800 was flying at just over 13,000 feet when the initiating incident leading to its destruction occurred. The center wing tank subsequently exploded (and generated a smoke cloud) at several thousand feet below 13,000 feet while TWA 800 was already on its way down to the ocean. In the discussion below I have interspersed items from newspaper articles, my own comments, and references to each of the eyewitness descriptions. August 25, 1996 Times of London U.S. officials are investigating reports that Islamic terrorists have smuggled Stinger ground-to-air missiles into the United States from Pakistan.

  • Aviation Safety and Security: Challenges to Implementing The
    United States General Accounting Office Testimony GAO Before the Subcommittee on Aviation, Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, U.S. Senate For Release on Delivery AVIATION SAFETY AND Expected at 10 a.m. EST Wednesday SECURITY March 5, 1997 Challenges to Implementing the Recommendations of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security Statement by Gerald L. Dillingham, Associate Director, Transportation Issues, Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division GAO/T-RCED-97-90 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: We appreciate the opportunity to share our views on the recommendations contained in the recently released report of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. The Commission’s 57 recommendations broadly cover safety, security, air traffic control, and disaster response. As you know, 1996 was a bad year for aviation safety. Last year, 380 people died in air accidents involving large U.S. air carriers, the highest number in 11 years. The crashes of TWA Flight 800 off New York and ValuJet Flight 592 in Florida accounted for most of those deaths. Although the nation’s air transportation system remains the safest in the world and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the model for other nations, these tragic events have served to raise the Congress’s, the administration’s, the aviation industry’s, and the flying public’s consciousness of the need to continuously increase the existing margin of safety. During the past several years, we have reported to the Congress on the status of a wide range of programs and initiatives intended to expand that margin of safety.

    PROJECT PROFILE TWA Flight 800 WJE Aircraft Reconstruction | Long Island, NY CLIENT The NTSB objective was to reassemble the recovered pieces of the plane's fuselage, as well as the National Transportation main fuel cell, keel beam, cargo areas, and pressure deck, in a manner that permitted viewing of Safety Board the reassembled surfaces and installation of the passenger seating in the reconstruction. In addition, it was essential that the reassembled aircraft structure could be rolled out of the hangar BACKGROUND after completion.

Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to carry out the reconstruction of a 94-foot segment of the TWA Flight SOLUTION 800 Boeing 747 aircraft that WJE’s first objective for the reconstruction was to design, fabricate, deliver, crashed off of Long Island, New and erect a skeletal framework capable of supporting the recovered pieces York on July 17, 1996. of the plane's fuselage and related elements. The framework design had to satisfy several criteria: minimize alterations to recovered pieces of the aircraft; minimize viewing obstructions; accommodate substantial dimensional distortions; and allow installation of recovered cabin components. Then, a team of two WJE engineers and two technicians rigged, positioned, and attached the pieces of the damaged aircraft on the truss to reconstruct the airliner to its approximate original geometry. Finally, the WJE team designed a system to permit the reconstructed segment to be moved. WJE designed a support system and outlined procedures that met the project objectives in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We all have manual skills which we enjoy using, but none of us are at all wealthy, so we took the early decision to build as much as we could from plans. Interestingly and very sober- ingly, our 1991 estimate of the costs was about half of the final total. The difference has been a combination of the effects of in- flation over five years, the unknown costs of freighting those parts which we had to purchase from the USA, Value Added Tax (at 17.5% on all purchases!), avionics, paint and a host of other unforeseen things.

    Alum Profile COM'80 Kristina Borjesson says her documentary is the first film to focus entirely on the forensics of the plane crash, and it disputes What Really the NTSB's conclusions. Happened to TWA Flight 800? Kristina Borjesson's docu- mentary suggests that 1996 flight was downed by missiles !" #$% &'#%("))" of July 17, 1996, broadcast journalist Kristina Borjesson left work early after wrapping up a docu- mentary on Fidel Castro for CBS. Her husband was at JFK International Air- port, putting their 11-year-old son on a plane to visit relatives in France, and an exhausted Borjesson climbed into bed for a nap. “All of a sudden the phone rang,” she says, “and I heard my neighbor’s voice say, ‘Was that your son’s plane that just went down?’” A Paris-bound Boeing 747 had exploded off the coast of Long Island, N.Y., just after 8:30 p.m., killing all 230 on board. “I can’t even describe to you that feeling,” says Borjesson (COM’80). “It was like hot oil was poured on my brain. I started dry-heaving.” But her son was safe; his Air France flight was five minutes behind the doomed aircraft, TWA Flight 800. “For that moment, I knew what the family members of those victims were going through,” she says. “I lived it.” The tragedy would remain part of Borjesson’s life for the next 17 years, the subject of her own on-again, off-again investigation.

    1997-2015 Update to FAA Historical Chronology: Civil Aviation and the Federal Government, 1926-1996 (Washington, DC: Federal Aviation Administration, 1998) 1997 January 2, 1997: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an airworthiness directive requiring operators to adopt procedures enabling the flight crew to reestablish control of a Boeing 737 experiencing an uncommanded yaw or roll – the phenomenon believed to have brought down USAir Flight 427 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1994. Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. (See September 30, 1996.) January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996; October 28, 1998.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996. (See July 17, 1996; May 4, 1997.) January 9, 1997: A Comair Embraer 120 stalled in snowy weather and crashed 18 miles short of Detroit [Michigan] Metropolitan Airport, killing all 29 aboard. (See May 12, 1997; August 27, 1998.) January 14, 1997: In a conference sponsored by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security and held in Washington, DC, at George Washington University, airline executives called upon the Clinton Administration to privatize key functions of FAA and to install a nonprofit, airline-organized cooperative that would manage security issues.
