So did Stephanopoulos on his Sunday program.Also the night of the "crash" Bernie Shaw on CNN threw it to Wolf Blitzer, then CNN white House correspondent. This was about 8:45. Blitzer's first words, with the White House behind him, were that Clinton would speak to the nation about Flt 800 at about 10:00 PM. Clinton never appeared. Other priorities emerged in the White House.
In the panic associated with his live coverage on 9-11, I heard Stephanopoulos refer to TWA800 as a bombing.
