Talk:Pan Am Flight 73

message: "...On September 28 2001, Zayd Hassan Abd Al-Latif Masud Al Safarini was captured by the FBI in Bangkok after he was released in Pakistan and was on his way back to Jordan...." —He was traveling from Pakistan to Jordan, but was captured in Thailand? Did he have a compass? Clipper471 15:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Itinerary?

message: I am curious why 24.26.143.239 deleted (15Jul06) the external link to a first-hand account of this hijacking ("What Happened to the Hippy Man?")? Instead you should probably add the other books too, like "Dancing in the Sea"...
Reference number 5 which points to http://americanmemorialsite.com/panam73.html is now a link to a generic holding page and should be revised/removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.235.21 (talk) 15:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: < ---!A secret message written on cigarette packets and foils is delivered to a Pakistani journalist, Mr Masror Hausen, who covered the trial. The hijackers revealed the true motive behind hijacking was, "to fill up the aircraft with explosives and hit the Israeli defence ministry, using the aircraft as a missile...." The message is reported in a Pakistani daily newspaper "The Muslim."---!> —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yousaf465 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: unsourced material.

message: The section titled "Assault" contains unverified information including a claim that US Special Forces were planning on taking the plane.  The section needs more sources for verification.  Furthermore, one of the sources cited is a forum, which does not meet the criteria for a reliable source, doesn't verify anything and is going to be removed.--RDavi404 (talk) 18:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: "Assault" section

message: Half of this article is apparently original research, with its sole source being a book's promo site (not the book itself, as no passages are properly cited as references).  Considering the importance of this event, there's got to be a lot more sources of information than one mans' promotional website.  Fix it, or remove it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.28.24.254 (talk) 20:02, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original Research 

message: "On December 3, 2009, the FBI, in coordination with the State Department, announced a $5M reward for information that leads to the capture of each of the four remaining hijackers of Pan Am 73, who were reported to have escaped from prison in Pakistan in 2008.[9]"
The linked reference actually says they were released, not escaped:
"In January 2008, the four hijackers subject to this reward offer were reportedly released from Pakistani custody."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.217.153 (talk) 07:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Flags removed per consensus 

message: ‘Thexton had the opportunity to ask his hijacker about this experience forty years later’. I guess the number of years is not the correct one, since 37 years have elapsed since the attack to this day. Vernel222 (talk) 11:36, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
