Director: Gandolfini was 'gentle, tender'
Broadway director Matthew Warchus worked with James Gandolfini on the show "God of Carnage." Warchus talked with CNN's John King about how Gandolfini handled the strenuous environment at the theater and what he appreciated most about the actor who died in Italy at age 51.
"He was extremely gentle, tender, soft-hearted, vulnerable, kind," said Warchus. "He was a big personality but he was a humble, and a....man with high standards and great, great talent."
Documentary: TWA 800 crash no accident
A documentary on the 1996 explosion that brought down TWA Flight 800 offers "solid proof that there was an external detonation," its co-producer said Wednesday.
"Of course, everyone knows about the eyewitness statements, but we also have corroborating information from the radar data, and the radar data shows a(n) asymmetric explosion coming out of that plane - something that didn't happen in the official theory," Tom Stalcup told CNN's New Day.

FBI's TWA 800 investigator denies cover-up
Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom calls a documentary suggesting missiles shot down TWA Flight 800 "preposterous."
The National Transportation Safety Board ruled the 1996 explosion was caused by an electrical short circuit, but former investigators want the investigation reopened because they assert evidence proves an outside force caused the crash. Kallstrom says agents took the missile theory seriously when they examined the wreckage and circumstances.
Investigator: Lies told about plane crash
Former Senior National Transportation Safety Board Investigator Hank Hughes says physical evidence shows an outside explosion brought down TWA flight 800 in 1996, and it was not an accident.
All 230 passengers aboard the plane heading to Paris died when it exploded and fell apart soon after taking off from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The NTSB ruled that the incident was caused by an electrical short circuit, but now former investigators are requesting the investigation be reopened.
