Talk:Turkish Airlines Flight 981

message: I find it warranted to include a Link to Apollo_1#Hatch_design where the plug-type hatch prevented the astronauts being rescued because of the self-securing design.

message: The article for Charles de Gaulle Airport states that airport opened on March 8, 1974.  Yet this crash occurred on March 3 of that year, and the article states that it took off from CDG on that date.  Could someone explain this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.212.81.20 (talk • contribs) 23:43, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Maybe something on Charles O. Miller (ntsb) could be added; he investigated the first accident, and according to "Mayday" (tv-series), informed a journalist after he looked at the cargo door and saw it hadn't been changed after the first incident. More on Miller:

message: Small disagreement with MartinVillafuerte85 about his re-inserting details in the first para of the lede.
I believe the priority is to highight the biggest single point of notability, and then deliver a clean, bare summary, stripped of all non-essentials, which can be allocated their proper place in the main article.
If the reader's attention is not held by 'the highest-ever death-count of any single plane crash with no survivors', it will not be held by the other classifications'. 86.144.67.80 (talk) 13:18, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

message: :It took off in an easterly direction, then turned to the north to avoid flying directly over Paris.
Orly is at the south of Paris.  A flight departing to the east would exit Paris quickly; a turn to the north would actually take an aircraft over central Paris ...?  Can anybody make any sense out of that?  Guinness2702 (talk) 13:13, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradictory statement? 

message: Per OTRS#2015072710012968, I'm posting this question on behalf of an editor who cannot edit this page (he's on a public library computer whose IP is blocked, and has asked me to raise this here). The following is a direct quote from his email:
The authoritative account of the accident, Destination Disaster by Paul Eddy and others (referred to in the entry), says all the crew were Turkish. They are listed in the book and do indeed all have Turkish names, but the entry says three of the cabin crew were French and four British.
The book also says all passengers were identified. It lists them, and they do add up to the total known to have been on board, 335. The entry, however, says nine passengers were never identified. It's not clear whether this means their names were not known (which is denied by the book), or remains were found but could not be matched to anyone known to have been on board.
Please bear in mind when responding that the questioner is unable to respond, but would simply like to raise the issue for editors here to consider. Yunshui 雲水
He additionally points out that the accident report used as a source (, presumably) also states that the crew members were Turkish. Yunshui 雲水 08:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Note 2 ("The control cables were not completely severed on ...") asserts that the lesser weight of the galley on AA Flight 96 vs. passengers prevented that floor from completely severing the control cables.  That is very dubious, since the pressure differential (sudden decompression of the cargo hold vs. slower venting of the cabin pressure) over such a large area (the cabin floor on a wide-body aircraft) would be a far greater force than the difference in the static weights of galley vs. passengers.  Even just 1 psi differential over only 12 square feet is more force than the weight of 10 passengers.  BMJ-pdx (talk) 10:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: it is more likely that the presence of the galley on the AA aircraft increased the structural stiffness of the cabin floor in the rear cabin area in a way that the additional passenger seats that were installed on the THY aircraft did not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.126.91 (talk) 14:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
