In 1988, responding to the continuing speculation about Roswell, the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) in Chicago sponsored a team to seek out the crash site, recover any remaining debris and interview surviving "witnesses."

Airlines are now even more anxious to replace their older planes with newer models. Days after Newsday said that a draft report by the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the 26-year-old plane essentially came apart in midair, Continental Airlines finalized a $3.5 billion order with Boeing to upgrade its fleet.
