Also can someone explain the reference "CLUMSY DRUNK FEMALE?" Is there a reference for this? Did someone listen to the tape of the tower communications that would explain this reference. In the interest of journalist rigourous-ness shouldn't there be a footnote explaining this reference? Or is it just a misogynous hack? -dm
Could someone explain why Iran has a C-130? Isn't it an US airplane?
This is like September 11 for Iran. :( freestylefrappe 12:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Sadly, I suspect Iran will not get the sympathy that was poured onto the US Rob cowie 13:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Of course Iran won't get the same sympathy as the US. It is a tragedy, yes, but on a tenth of the scale. Eightball
Virtually every source is quoting a different district:
The others report it as near the airport or just a "densely populated district" - I think we should do the same until it's clear. violet/riga (t) 16:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Not neccessary, capital of Iran is not exactly a remote destination. Similar articles do not have maps unless needed Sherurcij 17:23, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Just to clear things up: Story and Storey (as in floor) are essentially the same word. So stop with the revert war. - Ajaxkroon
Just check it up, ok? Aren't you an adminstrator? - Ajaxkroon
Whatever you say. I just find it odd since Story is far more common that Storey. - Ajaxkroon
I meant in a broader sense. But it doesn't matter anyway, it's fine as it is. -- Ajaxkroon
Since when did we decide that this article has to be written in British English?
I believe the very first edit used "storey" because it was the spelling used by whomever translates the news into English for ADKI (for whatever the Greek agency was called) and that is the original source. The vast majority of people who will visit this article are not going to see storEy as a correct spelling. It looks like a group of monkeys wrote it.
Be mature, ok? 67.51.52.63
Good lord, okay, so now we have "floor" in place of "stor(e)y", "plane" in place of "aero"/"air", and "excercises" in place of "man(o)euvers". Even though I'm an american, I'm starting to hate Noah Webster Jibbajabba 18:34, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Similar to the district of the accident, every news agency reports a different number of casualties, Some say 120, some 128, some even put it at 134. I think we should leave the number as it is and change it when all the information about this tragic event is cleared up.
I'm not sure about whether the same link should be present in footnotes and external links. On the one hand, it's redundant, but at the same time, it seems proper form. I'm not familiar enough with Wikipedia. Jibbajabba 18:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Did this building incinerate and self-implode on its own footprints by fire, or does only buildings owned by Larry Silverstein do that? -- Striver 23:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, see, the problem is that all you people are ignorant. It's not that it isn't possible. It's just that you don't pay attention to fact, to what is said, and thus conclusions are jumped to. No one every said the steel melted. The steel heated up, but not to the point of melting - only to the point of bending. And when it bent, it bent too far, it broke, and the building collapsed. I am not an engineer by any means, and I have very little knowledge of building structures, but when you have a building that is 110 floors high, and then one 10 floors high, I would say the 10-floor high structure would probably be slightly...stronger. Sorry for being logically and destroying some conspiracies. Eightball 18:42, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I have studied mulitple clips from the fall, all possible angles. I have never seen a single steel column bend. Please provide reference for a steel beam being bended in the first second of the fall. The only thing i see is a tremeandous jet of debris being pushed out with great force. And im talking about the first second of the fall. No beam bending nowhere - The bending beams are a myth.
Good point. But did not all the jet fuel go into the building anyway? -- Striver 22:57, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm incredibly busy at the moment with non-wiki things (life, ya know), but happened to notice that someone's managed to f#ck up the footnotes. Can someone with a little time please clean up this mess? What's footnoted doesn't correspond with the numbered footnotes. And people haven't used them in order either. So, it's really uh... f#cked up.
PS. I'm tempted to change "floor" back to "storey", "plane" back to "aeroplane" and exercises back to "manoeuvres".... Why can't we dumbass Americans leave proper English spelling alone? In a few generations, with the current immigration patterns, we'll probably be speaking spanish, and focus on contaminating that language... so you brits can have your language back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jackk ( talk • contribs) 01:10, 8 December 2005.

Image:C-130 crash in tehran casualty.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
