...NTSB Tuesday was set to hand over the investigation of the crash to the FBI, believing that the final cockpit conversations on the Boeing 767's voice-data recorder indicate that a crew member may have been responsible for the flight's demise. Handing the case over to Louis Freeh's men signals that a crime is being investigated, although a criminal investigation could still produce a number of scenarios. "Nothing can be ruled out thus far," says TIME Washington correspondent Elaine Shannon. "By making the FBI the lead agency in the investigation, it now becomes possible for a more...
