SHIRLEY, NY TWA Flight 800 exploded and broke apart midair over Long Island one hot and muggy evening in July 1996, and none of the 230 passengers and crew aboard survived after it crashed down into the Atlantic Ocean just off Moriches Inlet.
It s a day not to be forgotten by the families of those who perished on the ill-fated flight and those who desperately tried to save them in the hours that followed. On Saturday, the 25th anniversary of the flight, the victims were remembered during a ceremony at the TWA Flight 800 International Memorial at Smith Point County Park in Shirley.
