When passenger jets mysteriously disappear  Story highlights
• Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared early Saturday with
more than 200 aboard   • Peter Bergen says passenger jet
disasters lead often to conspiracy theories   • He notes that
people questioned government findings on TWA Flight 800 and Pan
Am 103   • Bergen: The truth will come out after a careful and
lengthy investigation   In the absence of hard information to
explain such disasters, people look for answers, and the
disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 early Saturday
could prompt the same response.  TWA Flight 800 fell out of the
sky on July 17, 1996, shortly after leaving JFK International
Airport, killing all 230 people on board.  Recovery and
investigative efforts were hampered because TWA 800 went down in
the Atlantic.  Peter Bergen  Some soon posited that terrorists
armed with surface-to-air missiles had brought down the plane.
This theory seemed to be bolstered by eyewitness accounts such
as that provided by Naneen Levine,
