I can't imagine the terror seeing the front part of the plane come off while you are still climbing and being strapped in your seat right there knowing you are a minute away from death. Those poor passengers.
Always amazed at how the NTSB and other agencies can piece everything together to find out most of the time exactly what went wrong.
I watched this last night but had to turn it off. I am interested in TWA 800, but afraid to fly. I wanted to see the forensics, but the fiery descent with passengers screaming was a bit much for me. I just booked a trip to Europe next April and it's never too soon to start preparing.
