Keep. A crash of a scheduled airliner resulting in injuries and the destruction of the aircraft meets longstanding consensus for notability. News coverage of the event was picked up by at least the Associated Press and published across the U.S., although since it happened on the same day as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion it ended up somewhat buried in the news.

Keep – As already pointed out, accidents to major airliners with casualties or hull losses are routinely given their own article within wikiproject Aviation, even if sources may be scant in some parts of the world or for decades-old events. --

Keep - Airline accidents, particularly those involving a hull loss or death, are routinely covered by a single article. Minor incidents involving no injuries, fatalities, or serious airliner damage may be better included within the "accidents/incidents" section of the relevant airline. In this case, there was a fatality, several serious injuries, and so I think this is fine to include as a stand alone article. Distinct care needs to be taken when considering events or article subjects that pre-date the internet age. There is already some coverage included in the article, more coverage is likely to be present in paper materials not reachable through a quick Google. I'd be happy to see this kept for these reasons.
