Explosive tanks blamed in TWA crash
A hearing will be held to
discuss the findings on
TWA Flight 800's crash
into the Atlantic
By Pat Milton
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Temperatures
in TWA Flight 800’s center fuel
tank were well above explosive
levels even before the jumbo jet
took off, the National Transporta
tion Safety Board said Sunday,
Thousands of pages of informa
tion representing what has been
learned since the July 17, 1996,
tragedy were released a day before
the NTSB begins a week-long
hearing into the explosion on
Monday. All 230 passengers and
crew members aboard the 747
were killed when it crashed off the
coast of Long Island.
The documents indicate the
NTSB is armed with facts it will
use to pressure the Federal Avia
tion Administration to adopt po
tentially costly recommendations
to reduce temperatures in fuel
tanks to prevent other explosions.
The NTSB revealed the results of
tests last July in which it used an
other Boeing 747 to try to duplicate
the conditions faced by Flight 800.
During the simulation, the
agency found temperatures in the
nearly empty center fuel tank be
fore the plane took off were as high
as 145 degrees, much higher than
the 100 degrees at which an explo
sion can be touched off.
“This is the big issue,” said Peter
Goelz, an NTSB spokesman, saying
a full two days of this week's hear
ings likely will be needed to focus
on the issue of volatility of vapors
and fuel in fuel tanks.
Goelz said his agency was en
couraged when the FAA last week
agreed to take a closer look at NTSB
recommendations made a year ago
to reduce the volatility of vapors.
The FAA has insisted that the prob
lem can be resolved by eliminating
any ignition source near the tank.
“Our most important product in
the end is our safety recommenda
tions,” Goelz said. “Our job is to
make recommendations so that
these accidents don’t happen again.”
The reports showed the NTSB
has conducted hundreds of tests,
including firing 105 gunshots at
aluminum material to determine
the type of hole that would be cut
by a high-velocity object. The
holes were unlike most holes
found in the Flight 800 wreckage.
The FBI investigated the possi
bility that a bomb or a missile
brought down the plane. But twc
weeks ago, it suspended its probe
after finding no evidence to sup
port a criminal theory.
The explosion and subsequen
investigation attracted worldwide
attention after 244 witnesses save
streaks in the sky about the time o
the explosion, which caused the
FBI to aggressively investigate the
possibility of a missile.
A CIA study of what happenet
to the plane concluded that nearb
all of the witnesses actually sav
the plane breaking up and explod
ing into a fireball, not a missile.
The NTSB is expected to show i
videotape Monday to demonstrate
what it believes happened to the
plane.
Goelz said the hearing this weel
will only gather or report factua
information — a probable cause
for the explosion may not be deter
mined until late next year.
Lorena Bobbitt charged with assault
si neigooor reporrea war Honour
punched her 49-year-old mother
in the face with a closed fist
The Associated Press
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — The woman known as
Lorena Bobbitt when she was accused of cutting off
her husband’s penis with a kitchen knife has been
charged with assaulting her mother.
Lorena Gallo, 28, who has used her maiden name
since her divorce from John Wayne Bobbitt in 1995
and now lives with her parents, was freed on $750
bail.
Neighbors told police that Gallo’s mother, 49-year
old Elvia Gallo, was watching television Friday
morning when her daughter entered the room and
started punching her with a closed fist, police Lt.
Tim Rudy said Sunday.
He said that police didn’t know a motive and that
there was no record of any previous incidents be
tween the two women.
There was no comment from Lorena Gallo, who
i
nas an unnstea teiepnone numDer.
Elvia Gallo’s son separated the two women; Rudy
did not know if he was Lorena Gallo’s brother.
Lorena Gallo was arrested later Friday at a friend’s
house, he said.
Her mother suffered minor injuries, including an
abrasion around the eyes and minor scratches, said
police Lt. Paul Harris.
During her widely publicized trial in 1994, Lorena
Gallo said years of sexual abuse drove her to cut ofi
her former husband’s penis, which was reattached
surgically.
She was found not guilty of malicious wounding
by reason of insanity.
Bobbitt, now 30, said last month he was leaving a
life of talk shows and porno movies and moving tc
the small town of Fallon, Nev., where four of his five
brothers live. He said he is writing a book about his
life and wants to find a job.
Gallo was scheduled to be arraigned Monday,
Rudy said. If she is convicted, she faces a maximum
penalty of a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
