On September 8, 1974, a Boeing 707 (registered N8734) operating as TWA Flight 841 from Tel Aviv to New York City via Athens and Rome crashed into the Ionian Sea, killing all aboard. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the plane had been destroyed by a bomb hidden in the cargo hold. The detonation of the bomb destroyed the systems responsible for operating the plane's control surfaces, causing the plane to pitch up until it stalled and dove into the sea.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
A 1974 bombing of a flight from Tel Aviv to New York that killed everyone aboard when a bomb hidden in the cargo hold detonated. The 2010 opening said "suspicion has fallen on Abu Nidal and his terror organization." Today the opening names no suspect or organization at all, saying only that the plane "had been destroyed by a bomb hidden in the cargo hold," though terror survives eight times in the body. A reader arriving now learns a bomb caused the crash and not who Wikipedia itself once named as the suspected bomber.
