[0:00] too much of a different posture than we

[0:02] than we were last night. We're not here

[0:04] to take over the investigation yet.

[0:06] We're not here to declare uh that this

[0:09] is a terrorist event,

[0:12] but the FBI says it could be criminal

[0:14] and that is the way it is now looking

[0:16] into the explosion [music] of TWWA

[0:17] Flight 800.

[0:20] Also, security is certainly tight in

[0:22] Atlanta where the president is set off

[0:24] to to kick the off the party of the

[0:26] century.

[0:33] Hello and welcome to Early Prime. I'm

[0:35] Joey Chen. Lou Waters is on assignment.

[0:37] Natalie Allen is off this evening. In

[0:40] the news today, crime, terrorism, or

[0:42] accident? That is the question in the

[0:43] waters off Long Island today as a search

[0:46] continues for the cause of the blast

[0:47] that brought down a jumbo jet. For the

[0:49] record, the FBI still insists there is

[0:51] no hard evidence of terrorism, but it is

[0:53] investigating as if the crash were a

[0:56] criminal act. Investigators tell CNN

[0:58] there are no signs of a catastrophic

[1:00] mechanical breakdown either. The

[1:02] allimportant search for bodies and clues

[1:04] is being held up today by high winds,

[1:06] low clouds, and rain. Navy divers didn't

[1:09] even get in the water today, although

[1:11] state and local divers did. A side

[1:14] controversy has arisen in the tragedy's

[1:16] aftermath. Just how forthcoming were

[1:18] airline officials with a passenger list

[1:20] and with their efforts to compile one?

[1:22] Earlier today, for the second day

[1:24] running, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani

[1:26] said the answer is not very.

[1:29] I'd ask you to go back to the tape and

[1:30] listen to the paid representative of

[1:32] TWWA say that
