Apparent discrepancies with source
[1]
I happened to glance at that page, and it's clear the article conflicts with it in at least a few ways. Random examples:
Source says The other two cabin staff instructed the passengers to fasten their seat belts, reassured them and took up their emergency positions.; the article currently says the other two flight attendants ... reassured passengers, and instructed them to adopt brace positions in anticipation of an emergency landing -- not the same.
Source simply points out the difference between a "plug" window and one installed from the exterior, but doesn't call it any kind of design "flaw" or "inadequacy"; the article calls it an inadequacy.
Perhaps some of these discrepancies are due to other sources, but I suspect these are just errors that crept in, and that there are others.

We changed "design flaw" after you spotted it, didn't we? I seem to remember putting in "non-optimal"? Perhaps "inadequacy" is just as bad. I did a Google search for terms like that, but drew a blank. The design has certainly now changed, but I couldn't find anything to directly connect the two.

It was me that changed "sub-optimal design" to "design inadequacy" because it sounded better to me. The point is that in order to avoid plagiarism we are encouraged to put things in our own words (sure I've read that somewhere in citing sources, can't be bothered to go searching for it now) and that inevitably runs the risk of introducing slight changes in semantics, call it Chinese Whispers, but other than reciting the source material verbatim, what are we supposed to do? A certain amount of subjective interpretation has to be expected.

Yes, we ought to really only use quotes from the official report, as those words have been very carefully chosen. But there is certainly only a mention of "plug" type, nothing about design inadequacy etc. We'd have to look elsewhere.

There wasn't a "design flaw" or "inadequacy", the design is more than sufficiently strong enough to resist internal cabin pressure as long as the proper fixings are used, otherwise the
ARB would not have Certificated the One-Eleven design back in the 1960s. The windscreen was designed that way in order to simplify windscreen replacement in case of damage caused by hail, bird strike, normal wear, etc. — Preceding
