Talk:TEV Wahine

message: "New Zealand television news broadcast the drama as it happened"  ??
I'm not sure NZ TV had a network capable of broadcasting live in 1968.  The Wellington News aired the delayed footage on 10 April at 7PM but the rest of the country had to wait till the next day when the film was flown to Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin.

:Right, in fact I'm not sure they were transmitting before the evening in those days. The Christchurch Star ran three editions, "Wahine founders" "Wahine sinking" and "Wahine sinks" all with wire photos, which might affect people's memories. --Hugh7 04:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "The winds in Wellington were the strongest ever recorded". This is wrong. The strongest winds ever recorded on earth were recorded during the 1999 Oklahome tornado outbreak.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.6.84.28 (talk) 23:03, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I removed 2 references which appeared to be bullshit. One of them was "The Wahine: Did it really happen" which sounded like a strange title to me (who doubts it happened?) so I searched and couldn't find anything either on Google or the national library. I came back to remove it and then realised the next title referenced was Believe Me. It appears someone thought they would be funny  Nil Einne 12:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I see somebody has edited the article to say that there were 52 victims, adding that one name was added after nearly 40 years.
This is news to me.  I have always heard the number 51, and I know nothing about a new name being added.  Can somebody clarify that either here, or preferably in the article itself?  And provide a source if possible?  THANKS! David Cannon (talk) 13:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  Stop the press! The Dominion Post (9 April 2008 A5) reports today that a 53rd victim, a woman who died 39 years and 346 days ago tomorrow (I think this is 20 days after the sinking since it was a leap year?) was left off the official list by mistake. Her name, May Elizabeth Brightwell, is going to be added to the Wahine memorial tomorrow. Jamie Mackay (talk) 21:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
