[edit] Reliability of sources

There are two sources used for this article, both of which are themselves secondary sources. I am not sure about the reliability of these sources and they disagree about the number of passengers on the flight (113 or 114?). This in turn leads to the Wikipedia article quoting inconsistent figures: 114 passengers + 6 crew = 8 fatalities + 111 survivors. NOT.

I am particularly suspicious of the B737.org reference as it doesn't even give the correct date for the incident!

Does anyone have a primary source for this accident? 82.1.57.47 (talk) 07:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
