Talk:United Airlines Chesterton Crash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I put a verify tag on this article.

The statement about the presence of nitroglycerine on an airplane destroyed in midflight in 1933 is a bit of a stretch (how was that determined?) and the comment about a proven act of sabotage (how?) is very dubious.

The single source cited gives us nothing more than the article does and its author doesn't cite sources in any reproducible way. I can't find any other online source for the incident that doesn't depend on this article.

If we've got something else to cite, I'd love to keep the article; otherwise I think it's a candidate for deletion.

That'll teach me to be so suspicious. The Times articles cited support the story. I'm still a bit suspicious of the speed with which the Bureau reached some of its conclusions, but I think it's enough to go with for now. Bpmullins 18:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
