In Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, NTSB investigators gave reporters a briefing on their investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800 in 1996. A documentary that raises questionsabout the cause of the crash is due to be released on July 17, and on June 19, the safety board received a petition for reconsideration of the board's findings and probable-cause determination regarding the crash. "This petition is currently under review," the safety board said. At the briefing, "The investigators provided a summary of the investigation," NTSB spokeswoman Kelly Nantel told AVweb. "They provided no new information. The purpose behind the briefing was to provide reporters who are not as familiar with the investigation, a briefing into all the investigative work that went into determining the findings, conclusions and probable cause."
