Talk:Delta Air Lines Flight 1989

message: This article appears not only to contradict itself, but also other sources:
* The article intro states that Delta Flight 1989 had a near-miss with United Flight 175, but then in the next paragraph describes instead a near-miss with American Flight 11
* Per the 9/11 timeline at cooperativeresearch.org, at about 8:46 am (EDT) on 9/11, Delta Flight 2315 did have a near-miss with United 175, missing that plane "by less than 200 feet," which almost perfectly echoes this article's "approximately 200 feet." The timeline later states that Flight 175 had close calls with "two other planes" around 8:55, but names one of those as Delta 2315 (previously mentioned having a near-miss with United 175 at 8:46) and the other as US Airways Flight 542. 
It sounds like either there may have been two or more similar incidents on 9/11, and the author of this article is confusing information about the events, or there was just one event and the author's information (or that in the 9/11 timeline) is just plain wrong. (Actually, sounds like both sources may be a mite confused on this.) In any case, this should be cleared up as it is a minor, but nonetheless interesting aspect of that day's events.

message: The history of this article is truly bizarre. Originally it stated that Delta 1989 nearly hit American 11.  Then it becomes United 175. I've removed all mention of near misses since there's no source given. Evercat 01:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The aricraft, according to The History Channel, was held on the tarmac at gunpoint for two hours by the FBI and Cleaveland SWAT, and the airport was evacuated. I've added that. --Delta1989 20:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Further info

message: I added  tags to two locations where I could not find a reliable reference for a couple aspects of the article. Neither portion may be wrong and both look plausible, but I think they do need a reference becasue of their significance in the article. The first is that Boston Center initally became worried because they could not establish radio contact with Delta 1989 and declared that Delta 1989 was a potential hijacking then. The 9/11 report and testimony does not mention radio communication difficulties as a reason for Boston Center to suspect hijacking of Delta 1989. The second is the reason Delta 1989 landed. It seems entirely plausible the flight landed at Delta's direction and that communication difficulties between Boston and Cleveland Centers played a role, but is there a reliable reference to an unruly Middle-Eastern passanger as a reason to land? I will delete these statements if we can't find such a reference in a reliable, reputable source. Thank you. Civilengtiger (talk) 19:16, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: This is the standard infobox for aircraft incidents and accidents.  If there were no fatalities, then the infobox will indicate that everyone on board survived the incident/accident. Shelbystripes (talk) 21:28, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
