Some Help?

Could someone help me with the external link. JJ 04:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

I think we need a picture for the info box.

Numbers don't make sense

  1. "There were no fatalities among the aircraft's crew and passengers but 3 died"
  2. In the infobox: 121 passengers + 6 crew = 127 people total. If there's 121 survivors there must have been 6 fatalities, which doesn't match the sentence above either.

The three fatalities were on the ground, according to ASN. I've rewritten the article to clarify this, improve language and add references. I haven't found any references for the stated number of injuries, though - no idea how many were onboard and how many were on the ground. DES 15:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aviation Safety Network gives 124 passengers plus 6 crew members for a total of 130 people onboard.Aldo L 02:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of the accident

The cause of the accident is somewhat different according to Aviation Safety Network. Check: http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19980322-0 Aldo L 23:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The cause of this accident may be due for some revision as greater understanding of the throttle/thrust reverser relationship is revealed. The listed causes appear to be related to that of the [TAM Flight 3054 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Linhas_A%C3%A9reas_Flight_3054] as mentioned in this [CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/08/01/brazil.crash.cause.ap/index.html]. Is there a problem with the aircraft's computer programming? Have all the operating parameters of the computer been revelaed to pilots in training? i.e. if the throttles are not on idle the thrust reverser won't deploy.
