Did 2 or 6 people from the United States die?
edit“Twenty-two non-Japanese were on board the flight,including four residents of Hong Kong, two each from Italy and the United States, and one each from West Germany and the United Kingdom”
But the Wiki also contains a table that indicates that 6 people from the United States were killed?
Which number is correct, 2 or 6? Tomada36 (talk) 10:37, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
how many west germans were on board?
editthe sidebar says there were two on board, but the text only says one. the tudor quote it cites agrees. however, if we subtract one from the sidebar, the math doesn't work out. the same goes for the 2 vs. 6 americans, as asked last summer? does anyone have another source that can clarify this?

Two or Three impacts?
editI believe it used to say that it actually clipped two ridges before the final impact, but someone changed it without discussion? Pink Floyd Fan 101 (talk) 00:04, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
