Then again, there was TWA 800 just a few weeks after 9/11 which exploded

Point stands but you're thinking of AA 587.

Interesting what-could-have-been:

Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was arrested on April 3, 1996.

TWA flight 800 blew up on July 17, 1996.

Had Kaczynski not been arrested, as he had been in the prior 19 years, guess
