Member Rating:  
Originally airing on PBS, this episode of NOVA details the events following the mysterious crash of Flight 111 on September 2, 1998. With none of the 229 passengers surviving and no information known about the aircraft's final six minutes available through flight data recorders, investigators were faced with a daunting task in determining what went wrong when the Geneva-bound flight attempted to make an emergency landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and plummeted into the ocean. With the aid of a special vacuum-equipped ship, the pieces of the airplane were recovered from the ocean floor so they could be reassembled and examined. NOVA: Crash of Flight 111 captures the drama as it unfolds. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

The other reviewer here has muddled up their air crashes and didn't pay attention to what they were watching. This film is about the SwissAir flight that burned and was FLOWN into the ocean off Nova Scotia, not the TWA flight that blew up over the ocean off Long Island, New York (and for the record, there aren't any U.S. Army bases anywhere near Long island). If you followed this story for awhile in the papers but never remembered what caused the fire, there's good reason - it took them 3 years to figure it out and by then the media had lost interest. This show is classic NOVA stuff at its best, and takes you through the entire detective process of how the mystery was solved, and NOVA actually has cameras rolling here when the big eureka moment came - sorting through piles of wreckage.

this is a good doc but it still remains to be seen why this thing would blow up to a billion pieces, apparently its a fire from faulty wiring, but wouldn't it burn rather than blow up, it was in the attic not near the fuel by the way. I still believe it was an accident and was shot out of the sky by a nearby army base because as informative as this is, it doesn't explain the billion pieces. The virtual re enactment are very interesting.
