I had heard the following from a senior TWA mechanic about 6 months after the shoot down (oops, incident) so take it as company gossip. The White House had the new TWA president (2 months in the job) in for a three hour session on the day following the crash. When he left the White House, he looked like had been through the 5th degree grilling and he wouldn't tell anyone anything within the corporation. He resigned a week later which surprised everyone because he had promised the share holders an aggressive two year restructuring program just the previous month.
The CEO of TWA resigned
two months after the crash, not one week.
The airline experienced its worst tragedy in July 1996, when Flight 800 exploded over the waters off Long Island, N.Y., killing all 230 on board.
That led to the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Erickson in October 1996, following the announcement of a $14.3 million quarterly loss related to the crash.
