A better review than appeared in the Times, for certain, which read more as promotion, (which makes sense since it was a cover story for the Times magazine, haven't yet seen a formal "review" there) & I have to say I agree with you about the unease provoked in what you describe as her "post-woke" art which also surprised me since Simon first made a name for herself with that exhibition of wrongly accused prisoners.

I thought the TWA 800 flight explosion was determined to be a worn electrical cable that passed through the fuel tank. As the tank was partially empty, a spark from the partially uninsulated cable ignited the jet fuel vapor and air to cause teh explosion. Are you saying this was a cover-up?
"The four-year NTSB investigation concluded with the approval of the Aircraft Accident Report on August 23, 2000, ending the most extensive, complex, and costly air disaster investigation in U.S. history up to that time.[8][9] The report's conclusion was that the probable cause of the accident was the explosion of flammable fuel vapors in the center fuel tank."
