Passenger itinerary

This is claiming to be a reliable source as a passenger list. First off I'm uneasy about placing this here until families etc are notified, secondly, is it reliable? The Rambling Man 18:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

It looks reliable, but I'm not positive. I would hold off posting it until we can get someone who speaks the language to check it out properly. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure the passenger manifest is reliable because that's an official copy prepared by the airlines. What's important is that it doesn't indicate survivors and dead passengers, so I think it can be put up as only a reference to who's on board. Bonchygeez 20:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Other pages recording the event

These pages also record the incident. As the fatalities number is still increasing, please edit these pages too as the event progresses.

Number of Dutch involved

I don't want to screw up the referencing of the number of nationalities involved, but there were two Dutch people on the plane, one man and one woman. This has been confirmed by the Thai Minister for Health. See "Twee Nederlanders gewond bij vliegramp Thailand". NRC Handelsblad. 2007-09-16. Retrieved 2007-09-16. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help). How should this information be processed? Splitting the nationalities by bullets? A ecis^Brievenbus 20:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Splitting into nationalities into bullets would good. But for now, let's wait for the finalised list of nationalities before posting. Bonchygeez 21:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

It's probably a good way of maintaining the accuracy of the information in the short term, while it's changing. After it stabilises, prose is a much better way of presenting information in an article. -- Flyguy649 ^talk _contribs 12:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

How many pilots were there

I've been reading through news reports and there seems to be only mention of one pilot, Captain Airef, a 56-year-old Indonesian, at the controls of the flight. I really don't think there's only one pilot. Anyone knows? Bonchygeez 02:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

As usual for a MD-80, there were two pilots: the captain, who was at the controls and thus primarily responsible, and a first officer. Jpatokal 02:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Article states "The NTSB determined the cause of the crash to be "flight crew error", as the first officer was inadequately trained and inexperienced and the captain of the flight was incapacitated at the time of the crash." but there's no citation, and it seems very relevant to ask in what way was the captain incapitated. ----

Language

"Phuket" was never a good transliteration of the Thai word. However, that's got to be the worst phonetic transliteration I have ever seen. "Poo-get" is much, much closer. "poock-eht" is bad because: firstly you separate the two syllables in the wrong place; I can't imagine what value the c adds and finally the "gor gai" character should give a 'g' sound in this case. And yes I am thinking of how non-native English speakers would pronounce this too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.123.113.87 (talk) 09:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The pronunciation of the name is pretty much totally irrelevant to the article, so I've just nuked it entirely. (FWIW, I agree that "Poo-get" is about the closest you'll get in English.) Jpatokal 04:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Nationality of crew members

What is the nationality of the crew members? WhisperToMe 10:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Non-NPOV

Much of the article consists of attacks on airline which were added by User:InvestigateUdom and have not been attributed to reliable sources. --58.10.216.134 (talk) 10:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Numbers don't add up

The box says that there were 130 people on board, 89 of them were killed in the accident, 40 survived. That doesn't quite add up, one of the passengers is obviously neither counted among the dead nor among the surviviors. The figure of 89 is in the NTSB report, so is the total number of passengers. From this source one would deduce a number of survivors of 41. On the other hand the entry on Aviation Safety Network gives 90 dead and 40 survivors stating as source: "NTSB". Could it be that there was one person initially surviving the accident and then dying later on? Then it may depend on the timeframe which person would still count as a survivor and which one as a death victim. So I hope there is anybody who can shed some light on this. --88.73.55.87 (talk) 15:07, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
