An event in this article is a January 8 selected anniversary

I added in the classic 'it's the le... it's the right' line and also the sad outcome for the two pilots.

I've edited the crash infobox to include the photo - a lot of people don't realize that the infobox allows for photos to be placed right in it. --Charlene 02:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Good move - it looks better like that. Ian Dunster 20:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proper name

"Kegworth air disaster" is not supposed to be the name of this page. It should be "British Midland Flight 092" because the plane has a flight number. --202.95.200.14 01:20, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Not so - WikiProject Aviation guidelines state that "For commercial aircraft with flight numbers, the standard is: <<airline>> Flight <<flight number>>.... Exceptions: if the event has acquired a popular name, that name should be used."

The title should therefore remain as "Kegworth air disaster". 82.44.26.36 20:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that the disaster is populary called the Kegworth Air Disaster? 202.95.200.12 05:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this accident is popularly known as the "Kegworth Air Disaster", certainly in the UK, and the article name should remain. SempreVolando 21:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crash Site on Google Maps

The crash site is here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=east+midlands+airport&f=q&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=52.831356,-1.299257&spn=0.002217,0.005021&t=k&z=18&om=1 Don't know if that's worth adding as a link on the article; feel free to do so if it is (I'm a Wikinoob). --BigglesZX 06:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Was this page vandalised?

I found this in the write-up...

"smoke and flames had been seen from the super cockpit nose engine"

Maybe it's an honest mistake...

Sorry... not sure how to correct it myself.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kegworth Air Crash Scene.jpg

Image:Kegworth Air Crash Scene.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
