200 or 300 feet near miss with Delta plane?
As of now, in the near misses section, it says Flight 175 missed the Delta plane by 200 feet, however, other sources say 300 feet. And I have looked at the official radar screen data for Flight 175 and it clearly shows they passed by 300 feet. But different sources say 200 feet, and others say 300 feet, should we keep it at 200 feet or should we change it to 300 feet? Sources that are cited on that section say 200 and 300 feet.

Why is engine information "far too much detail"
Since @David J Johnson reverted. I have a question.

EVERY SINGLE Aircraft accident, incident article on wikipedia contains information about aircraft engines, the year of manufacture and so on. On this particular incident, the aircraft engines played a major role in the crash as they were ejected out of the opposite ends of WTC 1 and WTC 2 as debris and landed on the streets below and people took photos of them, and that is how particular aircraft partly was identified and the debris that belonged to them.

How exactly Aircraft engine information is not relevant ("far too much detail") to an article about AIRCRAFT INCIDENT?

It seems there an organized effort by @David J Johnson to get rid of important and relevant information for some reason, which is concerning. This just undermines wikipedia as a platform for getting crucial and important information. And you are just helping conspiracy theories to thrive, because there are tons of people and growing in numbers who actually believe planes didn't crash in WTC and never seen the engines because this information is withhold (for some reason). When it comes to such incidents, every detail matters and engines are integral part to aircraft operation.

So, why @David J Johnson even removed photos of engine wreckage? Maybe maps must be removed too because average person can't read a map anymore in 2024 and that is also "far too much detail" for the average mind who needs to be fed dumbed down information only?

 * See my reply at American Airlines Flight 11. This is an article about a hijacked airplane, not an event having anything to do with the airplane itself. And please don't personalize your complaint in that manner.  Acroterion   (talk)   23:49, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Garnet Bailey was not just a hockey scout, he was also a Stanley Cup champion. I feel that his line should read "Among the other passengers were hockey scout and Stanley Cup champion Garnet "Ace" Bailey" 2601:8C1:8200:BFA0:DD3:DF00:AB33:854D (talk) 09:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
