# Talk:Swissair Flight 111

The Canadian Transportation Safety Board (TSB) did not release its preliminary report until August 30, 2000 and the final report was delayed until.
Until when?
Any update on the lawsuit?

Y 2003-02-24 is the last update date on the TSB report.  Ref 18 speaks to the end of the lawsuit.

Are we sure its 132?? AaronY (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I think that is an earlier report based solely on Swiss Air looking at what passport was presented. The later reports cited in the article, CNN, try to sort out dual citizens, etc. It's tricky as you can see in a previous section of this talk page. --Dual Freq (talk) 13:08, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to several uncited paragraphs. Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:40, 23 January 2025 (UTC)


### Swissair Flight 111
Flight 111 is described as Swissair 111 heavy multiple times shortly before the incident and multiple times as the incident was taking place. I'm unsure as to why the callsign bullet would not include "heavy" in the description because I feel like it would fit the bill. After all, the md-11 was considered a heavy aircraft and this particular plane was carrying precious cargo. If anybody could explain when it is appropriate to use "heavy" it would be appreciated. The only other article I've seen a "heavy" description used is the TWA 800 article. Susrage (talk) 14:01, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

That's because it's not part of a callsign. A callsign for commercial use is the airline's codeword (ex. Speedbird) and flight number. Heavy is only stated to provide information regarding aircraft weight and can change at any time for various reasons, mostly fuel dumping. If it is present on TWA, it shouldn't be.
