TWA Flight 800 is a 2013 documentary television film promoting discredited conspiracy theories about the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800. The film explores claims that a missile strike had actually downed TWA Flight 800, contrary to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conclusion that a short circuit caused the 1996 fuel tank explosion.[1] The film was written and directed by Kristina Borjesson, and co-produced by Tom Stalcup, who also served as the narrator. The film runs 90 minutes and first aired on Epix on July 17, 2013.[2]
Stephen Pope of Flying, despite finding Stalcup's reasoning flimsy and strongly disagreeing with the conclusion, expressed his belief that the film was made in good faith and not with cynical motives.[2]
