Yes, it really was 25 years ago that flight 800 was literally blown out of the sky.  230 people would perish that fateful day off Long Island and it was a horrific scene for many days.  It would take an additional 4 years to get any sort of conclusive closure, if you believe the final outcome of one of the most laborious tasks of reconstruction of any aviation disaster.  The story is told here with the journalist that spent all four years covering the story to it's end, Pat Milton.  She also authored the book,  "In the Blink of an Eye" which tells her story of covering the crash over the four years it took to come to a final verdict.  For more on Crane's Corner, visit www.edcranescorner.com
