FILE - In this July 16, 2013, file photo, a lone carnation lies at the foot of the memorial that lists the names of the crew and passengers of TWA Flight 800, at Smith Point County Park in Shirley, N.Y., near where the Boeing 747 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean off the waters of the park on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 people on board.
