Can someone hep me write a conclusion for this research paper?

Here is what I have so far: A Tragedy of No Survivors The truth can simply be described as “a verified, undisputable fact, proposition, or principle”, contrary to that of a conspiracy (Dictionary.com). On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800 left JFK Airport on its way to Paris, France. Approximately 11 minutes after take off, Flight 800 exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The 212 passengers and 18 flight crewmembers were all killed (What Really Happened). A flaring object, believed to be a navy missile, intervened with the flight causing it to explode (Serendipity). Thousands of pounds of kerosene from the fuel tank, dumped from the center and wing tanks, vaporized and ignited, and then created a fireball that hundreds of witnesses spotted all along the coastline of Long Island, miles from where the flight had taken off (What Really Happened). The explosion of TWA’s Flight 800 is not merely a conspiracy, but rather a horrific and tragic mistake on the part of the U.S. Navy. The plane was a 25-year-old Boeing 747-131, registration number N93119, owned and operated by Trans World Airlines. Captain Steven Snyder, a veteran with more than 17,000 flying hours on his belt, was in charge of the crew that evening was. Soon after the crash of TWA 800, several theories arose concerning what brought down the jumbo jet. The public and investigators believed that a terrorist bomb brought down the plane, but as the investigation progressed, a new theory developed (Serendipity). The FBI interviewed some 500 witnesses who attested to seeing an object in the sky heading up towards the plane (CNN). Many believed this was a terrorist attack that had brought down the plane (NTSB). As the investigation continued, rumors spread that the object the witnesses saw was actually a U.S. Navy missile (What Really Happened). “TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a U.S. naval missile.”(Wolper 1) From that, the TWA 800 “conspiracy” was born. The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, believes that a spark in the fuel tank caused the fuel to explode and bring down the jumbo jet. “NTSB found that TWA Flight 800 crashed accidentally and that the explosion occurred in the fuel tank” (Hosenball). So the NTSB is saying that a nearly invisible and almost weightless spark caused a 358,000 pound jumbo jet to break in half and crash into the Atlantic Ocean. This doesn’t seem very logical. There were two video’s created by the government to try and cover-up the truth. “The two videos used to support the government's case did not even match with each other, damning at last one of them as a work of fiction”(What Really Happened). The NTSB and the FBI want everyone to believe a damaged wire allowed a spark to travel almost two-thirds the length of a 231 foot jumbo jet, jumped into another wire, and found its way into a fuel tank. “Government authorities have strongly resisted the missile theory, attempting to convince the public that the cause was mechanical failure” (What Really Happened). If all planes undergo two hour inspections every other day, how could a “damaged wire” not have been dealt with? The government was very consistent in their attempts to persuade everyone that they had nothing to do with this tragedy. “In the end there were no missiles, no bombs, no mystery fleet, no fleeing ships, no terrorists, no U.S. Navy involvement. It was just a tired old 747 with an empty, explosive center wing tank.” (What Really Happened) This damaged wire theory is merely an educated guess, because it is commonly the probable cause of a spark. There is no legitimate evidence that there was a damaged wire, nor is there an explanation for a sudden spark from it. There is no reason to believe that any sort of internal problems were at fault for the explosion and downfall of this airliner. The Seattle Times newspaper has other explanations in their minds though. According to Pat Milton, a Seattle journalist, there was a bomb aboard the plane that detonated when the plane reached a certain altitude and was pressurized. “TWA Flight 800 may have been destroyed by a bomb…” (Chain Reaction) Milton’s theory is that the bomb was not extremely powerful, but “large enough to ignite a chain reaction…” Inconsistent to those found in a bomb that would typically make it past airport security, “traces of explosive nitroglycerine were found in the wreckage” (Chain Reaction). Also, if aircraft bombs detonate at altitudes of 19,000 feet when a plane would be fully pressurized, how is it that one could detonate at an unusually low altitude of 13,700 feet? The answer is simple—it didn’t. “The in-flight breakup of TWA flight 800 was not initiated by a bomb…” (Schlager) One other problem with the bomb theory is that jet-fuel made of kerosene, is prone to burn, not explode, which is not what happened. CNN interactive says that a bomb could not be the cause of this terrible episode. “it is "less likely" that a bomb brought down the Boeing 747 jet.”(CNN) This i

1. Love to help, but apparently your entire essay does not fit. It cuts off mid-sentance - heck, it cuts off mid-word.
