I find it hard to believe that the survivers walked 40km in three hours...[[[User:82.32.115.233|82.32.115.233]] 11:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)]

And what does "sintonize" mean? Paul Beardsell 00:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portuguese reader wanted

I've made a start on cleaning this article up. The four external links and reference 1 are in Portuguese. My gut feeling is that the information there can be used to refer to the article as I have done with the two former external links. If anyone reads Portuguese and understands aviation terminology could they please incorporate the external link articles as references in the article. Mjroots (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Original research or referenced?

This text has been removed from the article as possible OR:-

It is interesting to note that a very simple fact could have made that crew notice their mistake very early during the event. When flight 254 took off from Marabá, it started heading directly [[West]], and it was around 18:00. At that time, the [[Sun]] was clearly setting, and was visible directly in front of the cabin. If they had been making the correct route, the Sun should be to the left of the plane, which would indicate a proper [[North]] heading. The crew, however, failed to notice this rather blatant geographical fact.

On the other hand, it may be referenced in one of the Portuguese references. Mjroots (talk) 11:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
