WP:AVTRIV is a guideline and "should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception". Apparently Chris, you feel a need to delete information that is in no way harmful to an article. There is evidence that more than a handful of people would be interested in the connection, however small, between the two flights. There was an article in Time magazine which commented on it and at the time of the accidents, in the 1960's, there was a lot of concern about the safety of CVG. The guidline also indications an editor should normally put a discussion on the talk page. The suggestion would be to instead label the section "facts pending integration". I don't know why you feel compelled to go ahead and delete. Mfields1 01:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

It's 40 years later. If the NTSB had found a connection between the incident in Kansas and this crash, they would have mentioned it by now. To imply that there is a connection in the absence of anything explicitly stating such is no more relevant to this article (and just as much a violation of WP:OR) than saying "Flights with the number 191 in the US are doomed" is (which was deleted from Comair Flight 5191 on the exact same grounds). And -- ironically (used in the proper sense of the term "irony") -- you even explicitly stated that TWA Flight 128's crash was "totally unrelated". So now you're mad at me because I agreed with you? That doesn't make sense.--chris.lawson 01:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Who said I was mad at you? LOL. Mfields1 02:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
