Six months into the investigation, the NTSB's chairman, Jim Hall, was quoted as saying, "All three theories—a bomb, a missile, or mechanical failure—remain.

This resulted in a roll out of the turn to final approach and corrective turn to magnetic heading 306°. The Ilyushin remained structurally intact as it went in a steady but rapid and uncontrolled descent until it crashed in a field.The collision took place about 100 kilometres (60 mi) west of Delhi.The captain of the flight was a 45-year old veteran pilot with more than 9,800 flying hours.The captain of Flight 1907, aged 44, was also highly experienced, with more than 9,200 flight hours.The crash was investigated by the Lahoti Commission, headed by then-Delhi High Court judge The commission determined that the accident had been the fault of the Kazakhstani Il-76 commander, who (according to FDR evidence) had descended from the assigned altitude of 15,000 to 14,500 feet (4,600 to 4,400 m) and subsequently 14,000 feet (4,300 m) and even lower. The pilot in command had insufficient Situational awareness was also reduced because the pilots did not have a chart in front of them at all times.

On 23 November 1996, the aircraft serving the flight, a Boeing 767-200ER, was hijacked en route from Addis Ababa to Nairobi by three Ethiopians seeking asylum in Australia. At trial, they admitted they were using borrowed clearance papers from Scibe Airlift, that they knew the flight was illegal, and that the flight was actually bound for The underlying hazards of overloaded aircraft overflying densely populated areas were not addressed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and on 4 October 2007 a virtual repeat occurred in the David Learmont, [[[Category:All articles with dead external links]] The relationship between the charterers, who operate the plane, the shipping agent who organises the delivery for his clients and the company that actually owns the plane, is often very complex. The crew tried to request use of Runway 10, but this was, due to language problems, not understood as such by AFIS. The airport has an elevation of 28 metres (92 ft) above On that day, all aircraft had used runway 28 due to favorable wind conditions, climb-up conditions, and short distance from the terminal.At 07:55 UTC (09:55 local Central European Summer Time, CEST), the crew requested clearance to start their descent. Communication with AFIS was left with the navigator, which is a breach of norms.
He warned of the other flight's distance, but it was too late.

The four-year NTSB investigation concluded with the approval of the Aircraft Accident Report on August 23, 2000, ending the most extensive, complex and costly air disaster investigation in U.S. history to that time.The ground-maintenance crew locked out the thrust reverser for engine #3 (treated as a TWA 800 then received a series of heading changes and generally increasing altitude assignments as it climbed to its intended cruising altitude.Various civilian, military, and police vessels reached the crash site and searched for survivors within minutes of the initial water impact, but found none,There were 230 people on board TWA 800 including 18 crew and 20 off-duty employees,In addition, 16 students and 5 adult chaperones from the French Club of the Wreckage recovered with tangled and damaged wires attached.Map showing the locations of the red, yellow, and green zones.Wreckage found in each zone corresponded to specific areas of the aircraft.The pathways the wreckage took as it fell to the ocean.Pieces of wreckage were transported by boat to shore and then by truck to leased hangar space at the former Relatives of TWA 800 passengers and crew, as well as the media, gathered at the Grief turned to anger at TWA's delay in confirming the passenger list,Much anger and political pressure was also directed at Suffolk County Medical Examiner Dr. Charles V. Wetli as recovered bodies backlogged at the morgue.With lines of authority unclear, differences in agendas and culture between the FBI and NTSB resulted in discord.Although there were considerable discrepancies between different accounts, most witnesses to the accident had seen a "streak of light" that was unanimously described as ascending,Approximately 80 FBI agents conducted interviews with potential witnesses daily.Within days of the crash the NTSB announced its intent to form its own witness group and to interview witnesses to the crash.Examination of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder data showed a normal takeoff and climb,Investigators considered several possible causes for the structural breakup: Close examination of the wreckage revealed no evidence of structural faults such as The NTSB addressed allegations that the Islip radar data showed groups of military surface targets converging in a suspicious manner in an area around the accident, and that a 30-knot radar track, never identified and 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) from the crash site, was involved in foul play, as evidenced by its failure to divert from its course and assist with the search and rescue operations.The NTSB reviewed the 30-knot target track to try to determine why it did not divert from its course and proceed to the area where the TWA 800 wreckage had fallen. The crash killed all 349 people on board both planes, making it the world's deadliest mid-air collision and the deadliest aviation accident to occur in India. At 07:56, information from Longyear AFIS was given that there was no conflicting traffic, allowing a descent to 1,800 metres (6,000 ft) MSL. On 29 August 1996, at 10:22:23 Central European Summer Time, crashed in Operafjellet, Svalbard, during the approach to Svalbard Airport, Longyear.
