Talk:British Airways Flight 2069

no way this plane was headed to wilson airport
the main airport in nairobi is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the runway at wilson is 1500m long, good luck landing a 747 there! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.11.45 (talk) 11:54, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. I corrected this. I have landed at Wilson but in a Cessna 152. Andrew Hennigan (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

You need to re-edit the story of the struggle
In yet another reason why Wikipedia should never be used for the true facts you need to update the story of the struggle on the plane as the captain Captain William Hagan has been on Radio 5 Live here in the UK this morning (17th March 2014) and he told his story. He was initially sleeping at the time of the incident. He believed that he had two co-pilots in the cockpit but one of them was also having a break at the time which Hagan was unaware of. He also says that he was assisted by three passengers, not one. It might be worth listening to the podcast and getting this story correct. http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/victoriad Title: Bill Hagan 17 Mar 14 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.125.96 (talk) 12:20, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

30,000 feet per minute ???
"..and stall at 42,000 feet and plunge towards the ground at 30,000 feet per minute.."

I look through the different sources, but can't find this specific figure anywhere. One figure in multiple sources claim "2000 feet per second", 120,000 feet per minute, but that is obviously wrong since it is almost twice the speed of sound and would instantly break up the aircraft. Other places I find the figure 19000 feet in two minute, giving an average drop of 9500 feet per minute. Maximum is of course more, but is there a source of it or should we remove that figure?
