TWA's response

One of the big issues of this crash was the way family members and the passenger list was mishandled. In fact, Swissair Flight 111 even mentions this as something to learn from. It's actually why I landed on this article because I wondered what TWA did, but having read the article, I do not see anything but a brief mention and it's not even elaborated on. If time allows, I will try to write a section on that. I feel that this is significant because it too was a contributing factor in the aftermath. In fact, in a very left handed kind of way, the TWA response is nodded too via the law change mentioned in the 4th paragraph of the Aftermath section.

Forgot to post the article that mentions TWA though they are not the focus of the article: Airlines act swiftly to help relatives New U.S. law required detailed emergency plan. MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 15:32, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
