Edit: I can’t figure out how to post the picture, but google TWA 553 and the famous picture of the DC9 comes up. N1063T
That pic used to be on this site...I even did a thread on it.

Slightly OT, but it's tech ops so...
What is the big circular "door" ahead of the engine and just aft of the wing root?

Not that I really recall. The video I saw was just some home footage inside the cabin, filmed around the cabin and you can see everyone standing around moving from different sides of the plane to take pictures, and I just recall the person saying something about how the footage was taken not long before it crashed, thought it was eerie.
I remember seeing that photo as well..the theroy was it was fuel coming out of the fuel tank right at impact. It was definitely from a NZ901 documentary that I think I saw on YouTube...it was creepy as all hell.
I found this picture... not sure if it's correct one.
Wouldn’t fuel be clear? What would make it turn black?

I have a photo of myself boarding TWA 747 #17119, the aircraft that eventually flew as TWA 800. I boarded the plane in TLV, which didn't have jet bridges in 1984, so I am seen waving at the top of the stairs. I recently digitized some old slides, including that one, and realized that I never knew which aircraft was in the accident. So I googled it, and to my horror discovered that that was the same plane. The registration number is clearly visible in the picture. (Cue the Twilight Zone music)

I’d certainly be willing to post this picture, but I haven’t got a clue how to do it. I tried the ‘insert image’ button, but nothing happened.

Have you uploaded it somewhere on the internet? (Imgur, Flickr etc.?)
In that case; you should get the image-URL (it ends with .jpg) and post is here. Something like:

This is a sick topic, but strangely fascinating as well. So they have pieces of the September 2001 issue of Hemispheres at the 9/11 memorial? I've gotta get there someday. I love shows like Air Crash Investigation, but it's so sad when an aircraft is destroyed and many lives are lost. Now I'm curious to see that TWA800 picture @DaveFly.

I don't know the date of the takeoff video, but the registration is clearly visible at 1:15. The guy who took these was a 747-200 Flight Engineer for China Airlines. He has lots of videos from these.

What an interesting topic!
I have a missing tail # / reg in my log book, and pics from the flight, of a flight on a MH 777 from 2005 and have always wondered if I flew on MRO or MRD...

I have a few cabin pics from A7-AIB,
which burned down during maintenance work in DOH a few months after I flew it from DOH-ATH...

I have also been searching the webs for years to find pics of the interiors of these jets. Sadly, nothing has ever come up.
