It’s been 29 years, today, since TWA 800 exploded and crashed into the Atlantic off Long Island, killing 230 people on board. “It’s where they all took their last breaths. They were all looking for a beautiful flight landing in Paris or Rome."

What form of sociopathy required them to need a court order to stop doing this?
