Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden died in a crash in 1947 (see Grace Moore). I do not like to put him in a group with terrorists or "Others"; nor do I like to create a new group.

I think its funny the Kennedy's get their own section.

Are these supposed to be ordered alphabetically or chronologically? - Evil saltine 05:44, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

By occupation. Inside occupation, alphabetically. Jay 09:05, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Should helicopter crashes be included?

I don't see why not. --Wik 07:08, Sep 4, 2003 (UTC)

There's a certain urban folklore quality to the notion that Osama bin Laden's father died in a plane crash. I'm not expressing doubt (at least not here), I just find it interesting.

Incidentally, JFK Jr. is listed under both Politics and Other. Which is it? --Calieber 16:52, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Uruguay rugby team, 1973, Andes

I remember there was a Uruguayan rugby team crashing in the Andes, on their way to Santiago de Chile. Survivors survived several months in the mountains, through cannibalism. But I don't know enough facts. Anyone? -DePiep 12:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Andes flight disaster is the article. I'll use it here. -DePiep 12:28, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sort order

Some sections are sorted alphabetically by first name, some by last name, some there is no order. I personally prefer by last name...anyone else want to weigh in with their preference before I start sorting? Akradecki 16:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Confused me ! I support your comment Akradecki and would agree it should all be sorted on last name. MilborneOne 22:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Just another thought - anybody know why some entries give nationality and others dont ? MilborneOne 22:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] notability

I propose that, since this is supposed to be a list of well known people, one of the main criteria is that they already have their own WP article. This is essentially a similar criteria to one already in place over at List of notable accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft. Akradecki 14:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
