Talk:1977 Encino helicopter crash

Removed fuel gauge speculation.
I removed the section about the theory that they helicopter crash could've been caused by the fuel gauge being repaired without the pilot knowing. The source of this went to a blog-http://phs1.org/U2%20Program/powers-helicopter-crash.htm The blog Links the source about the fuel gauge to " we kindly acknowledge the Check Six Research Team and their staff for their contribution to this article".The Check six research team is another blog. The about us section on the phs1 blog reads as follows- "About us As a faculty member of Pound High School, in 1999 Frank Gabriele was given the assignment of webmaster for Pound High School. Denise and Frank Gabriele were asked to create a model web site for Pound High School. That is when the first Pound High School web site began. After 2011 the existing Pound High School closed and is no longer in existence. The Students from Pound were consolidated into the Central High School" This continues, but it's an alumni blog and I don't think it's a reliable source.

Teenagers
there doesn't seem to be any source to back the claim that powers was avoiding some kids he saw (aside from a blog with questionable reliability). it's a bit of a stretch, especially given the article mentioning that there was no in-flight recording to consult. feels too much like hagiography and not enough like fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.153.190.100 (talk) 15:37, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect grammar
''Found inside the helicopter was the video recorder and four video cassettes. The aircraft was not equipped with a flight data recorder (FDR) or a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and investigators had hoped the tapes might have clues to the reason for the crash but apparently the recorder was not operating at the time of the incident.[4]'' I have changed a lot of parts of this sentence - 1) was > were; 2) was not > had not been; 3) the sentence moved; 4) had hoped > hoped; 5) was not operating > had not been operating.--Adûnâi (talk) 08:47, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
