Detail[edit]

There's more detail on the Gulf Air page. Should this be imported? Jddriessen (talk) 11:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! I like the summary there better than what I've written. Oh well, now we've got references too. I'll add one to the Gulf Air summary too. CraigWyllie (talk) 16:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Information about the exact time of day when this happened might be useful. Was it in broad daylight or at night; this might help to understand about whether the visual conditions contributed to the spatial disorientation of the pilot. The Sharm el Sheikh crash for example, also caused by spatial disorientation, appeared at night with no visual clues for the pilot. --Proofreader (talk) 11:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the whole story is not here. there is more to what happened. i was there.. if you want to go down the rabbit hole. investigate the special passenger on board. and what he was carrying.... 47.207.17.158 (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Old press releases[edit]

I can't tell how these press releases are supposed to be read. What encoding is needed?
