There are two differing statements of fact in the article. Under "Search, recovery and investigation", it says that it was the last flight of the plane (this doesn't even belong in that section), but under "The Aircraft", it says that the flight was the second [to] last planned flight. Anybody know which statement of fact is right?

[edit] depressurization

"An explosive depressurization of the aircraft occurred once the crack was broken, causing the complete disintegration of the aircraft mid-air." That is totally impossible. A pressurized aircraft would not explose if there is a crack, and disintegration is total science fiction here. Who would fly if ariplanes would explode each time they have a crack? It's just like saying that your car would disintegrate if you burst one of the tires.

I'm not removing this statement from the main article since I don't know everything about this event, but I'm 100% sure an airplane would not explode on depressurization. What could happen is passengers loosing conscious (including pilots) and the plane could just crash. 88.144.10.164 20:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FL350

The article talks about FL350 on two different occasions. What is this FL350?

That's flight level 35000 feet; I may add a clarifying explanation to the text for those not familiar with these kinds of abbreviations. --88.73.152.36 11:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Table

"The People's Republic of China figure includes 9 residents of Mainland China and 5 residents of Flag of Hong Kong Hong Kong " Clearly not, since 9 are shown for the PRC and 5 for Hong Kong. I would remove this myself, except for some reason this sentence has four references? --Golbez (talk) 15:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
