About TWA Flight 800 Reconstruction
Why is the reconstruction of TWA flight 800 wreckage housed at the NTSB Training Center?
The sheer size and completeness of this accident reconstruction is unique in the history of aircraft accident investigation. The 93-foot forward portion of TWA flight 800 aircraft’s fuselage is used as major instruction tool along with many other pieces of accident wreckage. Investigating the crash of TWA flight 800 was a major undertaking by the NTSB, other government agencies and industry in time, resources and taxpayer money.
Is the reconstruction open to the public?
No. Out of respect to the victims and family and friends of the victims of the tragedy, the reconstruction is not on display for the general public. Its primary purpose is to teach investigators about reconstruction techniques and how to use reconstructions to solve accidents and prevent future accidents.
