The FBI has told the families of the 230 people killed on TWA Flight 800 that the investigation is in its final phase, and no evidence has been found that a criminal or terrorist was responsible. The Paris-bound plane exploded over the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from Kennedy International Airport on July 17. The plane has been reassembled in a hangar, and a federal judge urged the National Transportation Safety Board to allow lawyers for the families to inspect the wreckage. Judge Robert W.
