Graves
editI had the same question as Piledhigheranddeeper and looked at one of the sources cited; they are memorials, empty graves with markers. I imagine there have been several others at the national cemeteries, for service members lost and whose remains had not yet been recovered. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:38, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- So... would it be better to call them memorials? Should the article explain why just these two, of the scores on board?? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 00:56, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- I looked at the source and couldn't see any better way of saying it, so I just tweaked the sentence. It's a very selective honor, as the newspaper article touched on - the son of one of them spent many years asking - so I'm not surprised only two were assigned spaces.

Differing Accounts
editThis account of the crash is quite different from other published versions, particularly whether the plane ditched or exploded in mid air. I have no view on which is right but perhaps this should be spelled out in the text? JamesHumphreys1967 (talk) 15:49, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
