FWIW Canberra Times published my account of the whole sorry saga at
Aviation safety and the long saga of TWA flight 800.
There’s a human interest back-story for someone else to write - “How Lyn Romano Made Air Travel Safer for Us All”. Lyn’s husband died on Swissair 111. She and influential families of other victims saw that the accident was largely due to lax rules and a too cosy relationship between the airline industry and its regulators. Lyn used her insurance settlement to establish and fund the International Aviation Safety Association. It lobbied in US, UK and Europe for tougher rules especially for aircraft wiring and flammability. See
International Aviation Safety Assn & 8 years after SR-111.
Progress has been slow and patchy but would not have happened without Lyn.
