...tails of jetliners, almost directly underneath a Navy vessel. TIME's Elaine Rivera reports that the investigators appear upbeat, even though the first analysis of the two black boxes revealed no major clues. "Kallstrom called himself an optimist, and speculated they'll have an idea what cause the crash within one week." While forensic scientists continue to evaluate the information from the tapes and data recorder, Rivera says, the FBI is continuing what they're calling a "world-wide investigation." She adds: "There have been some very low points in this investigation, but it seems the NTSB...
...YORK: In the aftermath of Tuesday's tragic crash of TWA Flight 800, with the possibility of survivors ruled out, the focus turns Friday towards the complex investigation underway to determine the cause of the crash. TIME aerospace correspondent Jerry Hannifin reports that the NTSB has developed an efficient and effective system for piecing together airplane wreckage and pinpointing the probable cause of what was, in this case, an extremely powerful and violent explosion. "The NTSB puts together a "Go Team" which is headed by a member of the Board. The team is made up of highly specialized experts...
...team's first memos, designed to buy time for the Americans as they gave themselves a crash course on Russia, was titled "Why Bush Lost." Actually, the parallels were eerie.

While the airline, grounded since mid-June, says it anticipates that revamped maintenance and training procedures will convince the FAA to reinstate its license by early August, the agency won't say when it expects to reach a decision. "The FAA knows the heat is on and is going to scrutinize ValuJet's operations from top to bottom before it lets the airline fly again," says TIME's Jerry Hannifin...
...debut of SLATE, Microsoft's much awaited webzine, got plenty of attention from netizens last week, and not just for its catchy name. Seems the 'zine kicked some versions of Netscape Navigator, the Web's most popular browser, into an unrecoverable crash--and added grist to the Microsoft-wants-to-rule-the-world mill. Instead of seeing Slate's snappy commentary on politics and culture (excerpts of which also appear in TIME), Netscape 1.0 viewers were treated to a page of gibberish followed by a shutdown. Was the snafu a sign of incompetence, or was it, as conspiracy buffs asked...
