For the rest of the story about TWA 843, the article that defends the captain's actions was published in Air Line Pilot magazine September 1993. Link is here:

Unfortunately, I threw my old magazine collections away at the hostile demands of my wife! My recollection was that the article "TWA Flight 843: a Hobson's choice", focused on the fact that the Captain was correct to make the choice he did in light of the prior 100% fatal American Airlines DC-10 accident in Chicago O'hare.
Can somebody look it up and correct me?
Thanks.
