Talk:Alexander Galimov

Edit this please

Write about the accident and that 80% of his body has burns and that he has broken bones and lacerations in addition to massive burns [1]--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫_Hey^{it's me}_{I am dynamite} 18:40, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I suggest that this section be reinserted:

On September 7, 2011, a Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger aircraft, carrying nearly the entire Lokomotiv team including Galimov, crashed just outside Yaroslavl, Russia. The team was traveling to Minsk to play their opening game of the season, with its coaching staff and prospects. Galimov and a crewmember were the only passengers that survived. Galimov is in critical condition with burns over 90 percent of his body.

CNN, Reuters et al. should be reliable enough. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 19:36, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. It is fact that he was on the flight and has suffered burns as a result of the crash and eventual explosion. The varying reports can and should be omitted. Jasonstru (talk) 21:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

He died. It's everytwhere, so you can use any source for this, just update the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.33.96 (talk) 22:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Where is it that claims he has died? Reports are still conflicting and there are still reports that he is alive and fighting in hospital still. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.76.74 (talk) 00:32, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Viva el Alex Galimov

He is not dead.--188.100.185.255 (talk) 16:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Updates: Condition

The Moscow Times is reporting that Alexander Galimov's condition has been upgraded to stable. [2] Source (in Russian) [3] Perhaps "severe, but stable, condition" is a better choice of words, rather than his initial status of "critical condition"? ITAR-TASS now covers this as well, which is a reliable source. [4] GalaGalaxia (talk) 16:20, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

The Moscow Times doesn't say that his condition improved: [5]. Interfax.ru does indeed report that his condition stabilized but I don't know how reliable Interfax.ru is. The same goes for Itar-Tass. If you check google news [6], the majority of sources continue to report that his condition is grave/critical.

Let's just wait for sources like Reuters to confirm it. Yesterday, several Russian sources were irresponsible and reported him dead, today the same sources claim that his condition is much improved... Let's just wait and hope that he'll get through this, ok? --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 19:14, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Reuters does make mention of it as well [7] (see transcript)

Both the survivors are in critical condition, and are being treated in the Yaroslavl hospital. One was a crew member, and the other offenseman Alexander Galimov, who doctors say has burns on 90 percent of his body. (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) HEAD DOCTOR YAROSLAVL SOLOVYOV HOSPITAL ALEXANDER DEGTYAGYEV: "Galimov's condition is extremely critical but stable at the moment - although according to objective analyses he is a bit worse, but stabilising - he is receiving intensive care and keeping him on this level."

Nick Rowlands, Reuters.

That said, I agree that waiting for more concise improvements might be wise. Stable or not, the condition is still extremely critical. GalaGalaxia (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
