Talk:Air Algérie Flight 702P

Plaque
I don't understand why they erected this plaque. The crew cocked it up and were in no position to do anything heroic. In fact their error put the residents of Willenhall in greater danger then they would have been!!!!!!!!!Petebutt (talk) 19:04, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I totally agree. If there was any actual controversy in the press about the plaque, it should definitely be mentioned here in the article. 2A02:8071:50B1:7A20:F416:2576:FAA7:1374 (talk) 07:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Added 2 images, some content, please review for UK English & other stuff
I don't know if anyone is watching this article, but I've done some work on it, and I'd feel better if a UK-native English speaker checked my spelling. American English looks normal to me, so I don't always notice my lapses in UK English. I've added a fair bit to the History section, plus two new images, all from the AAIB report & appendices. A lot of the typical errors were made in this flight, and I'd like to get more of that into the article - communication problems, a very overworked and tired crew, fatigue compounded by factors such as high workload approaches, numerous segments, and the first overnight shift after working days, then the lack of basic procedures, like calling out MSA & doing a landing checklist, marginal weather on approach, an unstabilized approach, get-there-itis, etc. The article originally said that 6 houses had their roofs torn off (not cited), but the detailed description of ground damage in the AAIB report doesn't say anything of the sort. I'm removing that and saying several houses were damaged. Dcs002 (talk) 04:16, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Life animal transports?
According to the video "deadly tired! The dark truth..." by Youtube channel "Mentour Pilot", the cargo plane was used for transporting live cattle from UK to Amsterdam. If this checks out, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article to point out this absurd practice at the time? Cschleiermacher (talk) 08:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
