Talk:Singapore cable car crash

Role of Australians

Copied from User_talk:202.89.187.211:

Hi

Would you mind clarifying the line you added, "Australian officers directed this effort" please? I checked the reference you cited and I only saw the part about language being a problem. What the reference does say is that then-Lt Geoff Ledger was one of the pilots of the aircraft, and that he did the second half of the rescues - the more dangerous ones. Apart from that, this and other sources make no mention of any other Australian involvement. I've copied this to the article talk. Do reply there.--Rifleman 82 08:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Deceased

As well as the two Sikhs, the dead were Mr Fred Kunimoto, an American businessman living in Singapore, and a 60-year-old American visitor, a Chinese woman aged about 30, an Australian man aged about 35, and a Caucasian woman.

Trying to get more information on the names.

• Fred M. Kresser, president of Pacific Construction Company, Ltd
• Fred Kunimoto, a representative of Hawaiian Dredging and Construction Company
• John Sendrick, Australian

Article should be renamed

The current title doesn't match WP:NAME or convention: accidents like this where people die are usually called "Place object disaster" (eg. Cavalese cable-car disaster), so this should move to Singapore cable car disaster (without the hyphen, because cable car doesn't have one either). Jpatokal 14:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I renamed it to Singapore Cable Car disaster to match the capitalization used in the article Singapore Cable Car. --Seattle Skier (talk) 18:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
