[edit] Merge

Agree w. suggestion to merge. Most of the content is directly copy and pasted from the main incident article. YechielMan 17:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Agree to merge with Leul Abate - similar aricles do exist where a seperate article is justified - however in this instance I don't believ that there is enough info on Leul Abate to warrant a seperate article. -- Rehnn83 ^Talk 10:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Don't agree: The incident described in the main article was third(!) hijacking Capt. Abate experienced. It is rather unusual for a pilot to be hijacked three times in his lifetime. I don't have any details about the first two hijackings. But maybe someone will come up with this information, and then the "Leul Abate" article would make sense. Gugerell 17:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't agree: Few other aviators ever accomplished this great feat of flying. Capt. Abate deserves his own article. Anonymous

Merge. Do not see any further expansion of this bibliography. Noting the other two hijackings, are there any sources on that? Furthermore, this article repeats the same information described in the airliner incident. KyuuA4 06:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't agree: I have fleshed out this article to be more about Abate's experiences during the hijacking and his previous two hijacking attempts. It should be fairly distinct from the EA Flight 961 article now. I will continue to find more research into Abate to get some background information. Wackjum 18:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Merge. Again, there has been no expansion of his article. The only information in his article that wouldn't fit in this article is his birth year. Every other piece of information is detailing the incident, or is related enough (his other hijackings) that it could easily be mentioned in this article. If anything, he could have his own subsection of this article. Either way, while that article focuses on his experience in this incident... it's still documenting this incident, not his life.

[edit] Is there someone with a subscription to Highbeam research? I want to know the name of the third hijacker of Ethiopian 961

I found this: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-64680823.html

It gives names of two of the hijackers, but the third only has his given name. I want to know his surname too.

So, does someone with a subscription to Highbeam work here? WhisperToMe (talk) 20:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Someone found the name. Thanks! WhisperToMe (talk) 01:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Did Ethiopian Airlines ever release a conclusive victim and survivor list of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961?

Did Ethiopian Airlines ever release a conclusive victim and survivor list of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961? I have never seen one?

If the list has country info for each passenger that would be good. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
