Further Investigation and Analysis
Examination of the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder data showed a normal takeoff and climb, with the aircraft in normal flight before both abruptly stopped at 20:31:12. A noise recorded on the last few tenths of a second of the CVR was similar to the last noises recorded from other airplanes, that had experienced in-flight breakups. This, together with the distribution of wreckage and witness reports, all indicated a catastrophic in-flight breakup of TWA 800.

“A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
