This is the fourteenth straight accident report I've read that states that aircraft flight numbers are normally retired after fatal accidents, but "not for this flight". I have a sneaking suspicion that this was nowhere near as common back in the 1950s and 1960s as it is now. Of course, back then there were a LOT!! more accidents than there are now, so they would have run out of numbers had they retired them.
In the US alone in 1962 there were 15 major (hull loss) airliner accidents, plus another 11 to US airlines outside of the United States! Nowadays it's a bad year if there are two. -- Charlene.fic 23:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I am placing the article on hold. --- Dough 48 72 15:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Changes
1. The lead of the article appears a little short. Is there any more information that can be added?
2. Remove colon after "including".
3. "no-one" should not be hyphenated.
4. The sentence "300-400 policemen and fire fighters, including 125 detectives attending a narcotics seminar at the Police Academy, as well as Coast Guard helicopters were mobilized to the crash site within half an hour of the crash for rescue operations, only to find that there were no survivors." should not begin with a numeral.
5. International Hotel needs to be disambuguated or unlinked.
6. Throughout the article, there are many short paragraphs. Can these be combined to form longer paragraphs?
7. Are there any pictures related to the accident that can be added to the article?

Please stop adding trivia. Especially unreferenced trivia. Thanks. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû ( blah?) 01:00, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Maybe you also mention Louise Sarah Eastman (born: Lindner) as one of the victims? She's the mother of Linda McCartney.

Plus see ANI discussions here [1] and here [2]. There is one exception- the cockpit crew of the aircraft involved. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

I would like you to replace the infobox image caption as an aircraft similar to the accident aircraft that image is NOT N7506A. It is N7523A taken by Jon Proctor at this link: [3]. Thanks! UselessIdiotNamedBlue ( talk) 06:21, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
