Too soon to call this a "hijacking"

Until the incident unfolds completely, it's too soon to call this a "hijacking". I'd prefer simply to name the page as Ethiopian Airlines Flight 702. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 06:44, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Ethiopian Airlines accidents and incidents

There might not be enough in the long run to keep this page; in any case, the longer list at Ethiopian Airlines accidents and incidents has a template for incident reporting. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 06:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have a tail number for the plane, and the complete route it was flying? Edward Vielmetti (talk) 07:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
