    The two black boxes in TWA's Boeing 747 jet that crashed last Wednesday in the Atlantic Ocean near Long Island have not been found yet although investigations are continuing.

    United States President Bill Clinton announced yesterday that the up to date results do not lead to any conclusions for the causes of the plane's explosion.

    "Traces of chemicals were found," he stated, "although based on all the verbal and written reports that I get regularly it isn't possible to draw a safe conclusion on the causes of the plane's crash."
