TWA Flt. 800 was reconstructed in an investigation - and was destroyed in a criminal act. Was it struck by a missile or did it have a bomb onboard the plane? Reconstructing the plane will help find out.
For our example, could there have been any bombs on board Flt.77 that detonated at the time of impact? We don't know if we don't retain all the debris for evidence. Would it be relevant to finding out exactly what happened? It seems obvious to me that it would.

TWA 800 fell from the sky and they did not know why. A missile, a bomb, a fuel gass explosion, a meteor... even after the reconstruction of the wreckage it still isn't certain.
Flight 77 was flown intentionally into the Pentagon. What does it matter if they had bombs on board of the aircraft? It was intentionally destroyed anyway. TWA800 reconstruction was done to investigate why the apparent ACCIDENT happened, and hence to find a possible flaw in the design. I think it's rather obvious to see the difference with flight 77 and why that one did not need extremely expensive reconstruction.
