TWA flight 800 reconstruction by the National Transportation Safety Board was used as a training aid for about 20 years until 2021 at the NTSB’s Training Center in Ashburn, Virginia

Summary edit

Description
English: WASHINGTON (July 6, 2021) — The National Transportation Safety Board will cease using the TWA flight 800 reconstruction, (shown here) as a training aid July 7, 2021. Housed in a 30,000 square foot hangar at the National Transportation Safety Board’s Training Center in Ashburn, Virginia, decommissioning of the reconstruction is forecasted to begin in the fall of 2021. The reconstruction is being decommissioned as the NTSB determined continued use of the reconstruction as a training tool is no longer necessary and leasing space to accommodate it is no longer sustainable. The NTSB plans to award a contract to create a virtual, 3-D model of the reconstruction using JavaScript Object Notation. The reconstruction has been used for nearly 20 years to help train thousands of investigators, across all modes of the transportation industry, and other responders who have trained at the NTSB Training Center.
