I don't recall. You can search "Jack Cashill" articles at "American Thinker", and I believe you will find that information there. I also think he and his partner on this story have some online webpages about it.
after working with folks from that and other high profile recovery efforts I am of the belief that the dead should be left to their fates. What recovery does to the minds of the people who work it, is not worth the getting of the parts and mini-parts.
That said, I recall the tape and watched it on television.
Ten days LATER? By then the FBI TWA 800 investigation was already set. How could something that happened later have affected this?
Eyep...gubment coverup from the gitgo. Their year long “investigation” was pure unadulterated bullchit.....nose falls off aircraft...you lose CG...YOU LOSE CG plane WILL NOT CLIMB as any 15 yr old kid discovers when his freshly built RC plane noses in....
Can’t believe it’s over 20 years. Too many of my Long Island neighbors saw this and the story was all the same. A missile went up.....flight 800 came down. Even Jim Kalstrom convinced Rush that it was a wiring fault. So much BS during the Clinton regime.
I used to think well of you. Now, to me, you are as useless as a bucket of warm goat phlegm.
Ah, well. Such is life. I was told some very specific information from a person whom I know was in a position to know it, and so long as this person's career or continued freedom might be in jeopardy, I can't mention the specifics of what I know.
I find it very frustrating because I believe this information needs to get out, but I have no idea how to make that happen without causing problems for the person who informed me of it.
From a Jack Cashill article from June 24, 2016, TWA 800: How the CIA Hijacked the FBI Investigation:
Within hours of the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the Long Island coast on July 17, 1996, the FBI seized control of the investigation from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Although illegal, this was done in full view of an indifferent media.What the media did not see was the CIA’s illegal seizure of the investigation from both the NTSB and FBI. We know about this quiet coup now thanks to a treasure trove of CIA documents recently unearthed through the Freedom of Information Act separately by attorney John Clarke and physicist Tom Stalcup.
In a July 30, 1996, internal CIA memo, headlined “Hold the Press,” a CIA analyst warned his unnamed superior of an impending FBI report on a likely missile strike. This was less than two weeks after the July 17 crash.
After interviewing 144 witnesses, the FBI missile team insisted there was a “high probability” that a surface-to-air missile destroyed the airplane. According to the FBI report, the evidence was “overwhelming.” The witnesses were “excellent” and their testimony “too consistent” for the cause to be anything other than a missile.
From the beginning, the CIA’s job was to make all talk of missiles go away. Less than two weeks after the crash, the CIA analyst boasted to his superior of how he discouraged the FBI from pursuing the missile angle. In fact, the FBI did not go public with this report at the time even though it had “only minor corrections left to make,” and the CIA made sure it never would.
According to Cashill, the "July 30, 1996, internal CIA memo" is written three days after the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. At this point, according to the memo, the FBI is leaning towards a finding of a missile strike.

My uncle was a senior mechanic for TWA at JFK at the time. He says no way was it the center fuel tank and has some interesting observations about what went on. He believes there has been a massive coverup.
Ok.
I saw the video and watched the cover up, our government is absolutly corrupt.
Good video documentary on TWA800 is on youtube, it is called Silenced

Cashill’s book “TWA 800” does a great job of collecting the information around the tragedy and assembling into what looks like the real story - another time the FBI was manipulated by a president to cover up misdoing (beside Obama’s subversion to protect Hillary that is).....
Curious to find out who was on the passenger list
Cashill’s work deciphering Obama’s literary career is pretty insightful too. I wasn’t aware that he had done any work on this.
It’s curious:nobody claimed credit for TW 800. Sensational media coverage is crucial to terrorism.
I recall that some Dems cooked up a conspiracy theory that G.W.Bush bombed the Trade Center. I can’t help but wonder if the current allegations against Trump, which I’m pretty confident are intended to protect Obama and Hill against scrutiny, are out of a Dem playbook— one they’ve relied on before.
I wonder if the tactic we see today—preemptively accuse the investigator or opposition of the crime you’re guilty of—was behind the conspiracy allegations against Bush. One might reasonably deduce that the Dems were muddying the water over something. The question would be: what were they diverting attention from?
It’s a reach, no doubt, but the conspiracy nut inside me can’t help but wonder.
TWA 800 was without doubt brought down by a missile. The only open question is who fired it.
I’ll add my name to the pile, I saw it too.
It’s on Youtube folks.
