You are thinking of EgyptAir Flight 990, which crashed in October 1999.

See, for example, 
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/egyptair991121.html 

The NTSB only has a preliminary report on the incident (Accident number DCA00MA006)
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001212X19932&key=1

I should have thought that a final report would be available by now. 
Perhaps it never will be.
