The salvage of TWA Flight 800

This is incredibly morbid, but I just learned that there is a lengthy documentary video consisting of raw footage of the salvage efforts surrounding TWA Flight 800. I’ve read and heard so much about this doomed flight but have never seen this mostly underwater salvage video before. It’s crazy. They really filmed it all while tethered to the boats on the surface.

The US Navy has a very detailed report (PDF) about this salvage operation that is pretty interesting if you care to check it out.
