[edit] Confusing phrase

"...the plane was came into a smoke"? What does this mean? Halidecyphon 21:28, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Passengers "crying"?

Should this be "screaming"? Crying seems like a strange reaction, and too quiet to show up on a recording.

What a horrible, horrible sound.

Presumably they were "crying out". Indications are that this article was not written by someone completely au fait with English and we should make allowances. --Jumbo 07:53, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Passenger numbers

Does the "53 passengers" include the six crew members? I have assumed so in adding the info into the summary template. --Jumbo 07:53, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

That's correct. Here's a Chinese news story on the article- http://www.hbtv.com.cn/news/2006-10/02/content_855837.htm

In it, it states 47 passengers, 6 crew members and 2 on the ground died in this tragedy. --anon

[edit] Schedule timing

I'm confused. The wiki article says that the plane departed 15 min. ahead of schedule, yet said the crew arrived just 20 minutes before scheduled departure. How can that be? --anon
