Who were the survivors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.151.77 ( talk)
http://web.archive.org/web/20020220084617/http://www.biblesociety.org/latestnews/latest78.html says "Kenya Airways will transport the bodies of the dead Nigerians to Lagos."
I'd like to see if a newspaper article says this...

The article talks about people being killed or seriously injured by ' first degree burns'. On pretty much any first aid course, you get told about how the burns degree system is counter intuitive- first and third degree burns are both annoying- it's just that first degree burns annoy you, third degree burns lead to your survivors being disappointed that more wasn't done to protect you. A translation check'd be helpful. Nevard ( talk) 22:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't see why the CFIT category was removed. After all, it certainly meets the definition-there were no malfunctions other than the erroneous stall warning, the pilots remained in control of the plane, and their control inputs led to the plane hitting the sea. 76.6.158.127 ( talk) 22:33, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Jetstreamer: what exactly do you want an explanation of? The section on the pilots is lacking important information: their names, and their experience. I added those. I happened to read Korean Air Flight 801 just before, so I modeled the section on that page, which I thought was well-written.
"He qualified as an A310 pilot on 20 July 1999" is clearly wrong as the cited source states "A310 type rating obtained on 10 August 1986". 20 July 1999 is when he was upgraded to captain. I don't know that the yearly renewal date of his pilot's license is of any relevance, it would only be notable if he didn't hold one. The excess of uselessly detailed information is making the paragraph hard to read. 147.8.183.28 ( talk) 05:24, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Regarding this [1], please see text supported by source number 8. You may also want to take a look at my talk [2]. Thanks.-- Jetstreamer Talk 23:46, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
