		TWA leaves the national aviation scene in much the same way it came in: A marriage of airlines during a weak economy marked by an unregulated environment that sports unbridled competition and with a pilot in command of its operations, directing a stalwart workforce and a resolute pilot group flying an improving aircraft fleet.

		A senior flight attendant was swept to her death, and all 89 passengers were injured.
		The near loss of Aloha 243, plus subsequent discoveries and revelations about the geriatric problems of aging airliners, heightened concerns about these issues internationally and led the FAA and the airline industry to develop a comprehensive program to deal with aging aircraft structures.

		Swissair 111 actually first appears on the FAA tape of the Augusta Controller Center one minute earlier at 8:46; but the transmission is not completely clear and perhaps because the plane is not yet in the Augusta region, the air controller—who at that moment is in conversation with another plane—does not hear the call.
