Thank you for having me and this is a great venue. I suspect the first time book tv has ever done one from an airplane hangar. This is my 10th book tv. Its one that is closest to my heart for a variety of reasons. Let me start with background and many of you know, on july 17th, 1996, at 1819 p. M. , twa flight 800 left jfk airport in new york bound for paris. 12 minutes later, 8 31 p. M. Off the coast of long island, popular shore of long island, it was blown out of the sky. 230 people were killed, 53 of them were twa employees. Many of you in this room knew at least some of those people. There is a memorial in their honor here at the twa museum and if i were coming here just to spread some conspiracy theory, i would be dishonoring their memory and i would be insulting you. Instead, im here to tell you what happened on the night of july 17th, 1996, in the nights and days and months and years thereafter. There are people in this room who know a whole lot more about aviation than i do an

And 53 twa employees were killed in that crash. She knew a lot of them, she trained a lot of them, and she was heart broken. She was going from one Memorial Service to another. She runs into stacy, and stacy says, hey, is your husband still an investigative reporter. And she says, yeah. She goes, or have him talk to me. So stacy and sanders get together, and the first thing stacy tells sanders is, theres a coverup going on. And so they started collaborating to get information out of the investigation into the mainstream.
