"... bolts had been removed ... , the screws were not replaced."[edit]

Were they bolts, or screws, or both? Can we please have some consistency? 121.218.13.150 (talk) 11:20, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible plagiarism[edit]

At a glance it appears some portion of this page is derived from a paper titled SAFETY CULTURE: A CONCEPT IN CHAOS? without proper attribution. Worse, a few lines appear to be copied verbatim and may represent a copyright violation. Some work will need to be done on this page to correct the issue. I'll do it soon, if no one else gets to it first. Shelbystripes (talk) 09:26, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates[edit]

The coordinates in the official NTSB report are a bit odd. On Page 4, the report reads "The main wreckage, including the cockpit and cabin, came to rest at 29° 30' 98" north latitude and 96° 23' 21" west longitude." This is unusual because normally, seconds in coordinates only go up to 60. I can think of 3 possible interpretations of what these coordinates were supposed to be:

1. It was meant to read as 29°18′35″N 96°13′56″W / 29.3098°N 96.2321°W / 29.3098; -96.2321

2. It was meant to read as 29°30′9.8″N 96°23′21″W / 29.502722°N 96.38917°W / 29.502722; -96.38917

3. It was meant to read as 29°31′38″N 96°23′21″W / 29.52722°N 96.38917°W / 29.52722; -96.38917

Originally the article's coordinates were based on the first option. However, other lines in the final report, such as "The Colorado River, flowing approximately north to south, ran about 1.2 miles west of the main crash site" and "The crash site was approximately 3 miles south-southwest of the town of Eagle Lake, Texas" on Page 12 lead me to the believe that the third option is the most accurate, and I have changed the article as such. But I am still not 100% certain on that, so if anyone has any evidence that supports another more accurate set of coordinates, I would appreciate it if you posted it here.
