Wrong introduction[edit]

Hijackings are not accidents. Therefore, the definition "... summarizes airline accidents" in the introduction is wrong and has to be amended accordingly. Alternative: All hijackings and other incidents have to be removed. This applies to all three sub-articles. --Uli Elch (talk) 08:30, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

America West emergency landing November 1999[edit]

In November 1999

two men with longstanding ties to the Saudi government—Mohammed al-Qudhaeein and Hamdan al-Shalawi—[tried] to get inside an America West Airlines plane's cockpit [in] "a dry run for the 9/11 attacks." The FBI reportedly confirmed that the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C. paid for Qudhaeein and Shalawi's tickets to board that flight. The 28 Pages quoted a document from the FBI's Phoenix Field Office as stating: "Phoenix FBI now believes both men were specifically attempting to test the security procedures of America West Airlines in preparation for and in furtherance of UBL [Osama bin Laden]/Al Qaeda operations",[1][2]

according to the Wikipedia article on The 28 Pages and references cited therein.

Two questions:

  1. Shouldn't this incident be on this list? It was clearly NOT and accident, but it was a noteworthy "incident", wouldn't you agree?
  2. Any suggestions on how I might find more detail about that, e.g., a news report from 1999 with the exact date of the incident?

This is important, because it should have been reported in the local news wherever the plane actually landed. In 2017 the Washington Post reported that the emergency landing was made in Ohio,[1] but I don't see more useful detail there.

If there was no such news report, I'd like to understand why. If there was such a report, I'd like to understand why it did not become more widely known.
