Someone like Russell Defreitas, the recent JFK terroism plotter, may have had access to aircraft at JFK and sabotaged those 4 aircraft before they departed for foreign destinations. Defreitas was already retired by the time of TWA800 so he could not have been involved, but some one of his ilk may have.

NTSB should reinvestigate with the focus being terrorism and examining all the facts to disprove it. NTSB has placed all those flights into separate, non terrorism bins- spark hits fuel, suicide, fire in cockpit and pilot error. Look at all of them together. The coincidence screams for sabotage.
