I just came across this article. I noticed it is sorely lacking in reliable sources (only had 1 AOPA link when I found it) and was incredibly missing the NTSB/Aeronautica Civil report. I added the AC report, with some links, categories etc. The first part of the article can still stand some major wikification. The lead-in should be a short summary. Then should come background/history section, then maybe the AC/NTSB probable cause reports, then maybe the lawsuits etc. This is just a suggestion, but some reasonable structure is needed, as well as a lot more sourcing/links to a lot of free flowing 'facts'. Please review other major accident articles for ideas. Thanks, Crum375 21:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I reverted this edit as I could not see any source for it in relation to this accident. First, the edit summary says 'from NTSB report', whereas there is no NSTB report for this accident (that I could find), only AC. Second, having re-read the detailed report from AC, I could only find the 'sorting by biggest' that is mentioned in the article, and not 'sorting by nearest' that the anon IP claims. Hence I had to revert the edit. If anyone can find (and specify) the exact page/paragraph that supports a different claim than what is currently in the article, go ahead and make the change.

I have reverted much of the material apparently sourced to a TV show, as it does not meet WP:V, and seems to violate WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH. Secondary sources are needed for any interpretations or conclusions. Crum375 ( talk) 21:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Could you please reference the particular part of WP:V or WP:RS that precludes using a TV documentary as a source. I couldn't find anything in either article discussing the matter one way or another..thanks. Excimer3.141597 ( talk) 21:22, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.[4] Reliable sources are necessary both to substantiate material within articles and to give credit to authors and publishers in order to avoid plagiarism and copyright violations. Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in an article and should be appropriate to the claims made: exceptional claims require exceptional sources.
Again, could you please identify specifically where in that excerpt TV Documentaries are precluded. As far as I know they qualify as reliable, third-party published sources. Excimer3.141597 ( talk) 21:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, I understand your point regarding NOR and SYNTH as it relates to the original paragraph. However, the revised paragraph does not claim either source was wrong but only states that their is a discrepancy between the two. Regarding verifiability, from what I have seen there are many sources on Wikipedia that are not directly verifiable...ie citations from hardcopy published works...so assuming the Mayday documentary is an acceptable source...would it be OK to simply say Mayday said X and the CVR said Y?

I removed that edit for the following reasons:
Bottom line is that we need to be careful when we make statements to follow what the sources tell us, and in this particular case, had alcohol played a role in the accident, the AC would have mentioned it in its final report. Crum375 ( talk) 23:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Who's dog was it that survived? And what happened to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.159.186 ( talk) 09:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
How were there 155 passengers and 159 deaths with still 4 survivors?
The ACI documetary mentions that no radar was in use at the time because it had been destroyed by rebels. Does the final accident report make any mention of this? After all, had there been radar, I figure that work for ATC would have been much easier and they would have noticed early on that the flight went off course and they could have warned them, right? So non-operating radar might also be considered a contributing factor to the crash and might be worth mentioning in the article.-- Proofreader ( talk) 16:24, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

A paragraph is dedicated to an alt theory to the official report based on a movie. The sources are the movies website and various review sites. Should this paragraph be removed or significantly slimmed without more independent sources? Salmon4Fish ( talk) 08:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

I cannot find sources that agree on the height of the mountain El Diluvio, and I don't know the proper wikipedia codes for conversion, but two elevations given here don't use the same conversion codes, resulting in this line: "the aircraft struck trees at about 2,720 metres (8,920 ft) above mean sea level on the east side of the 2,700-meter-tall (9,000 ft) mountain"
8920 feet should not convert to 20 more meters than 9000 feet does. 9000 feet is approx 2043 meters WasANerd ( talk) 09:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
