Talk:Jetliner crash-lands in Peru

Jose Ortiz Quote

This article says "100 people—92 passengers and eight crew members—were on the plane, said Transportation Minister Jose Ortiz on CPN radio", this article says but following AP, he said "93 passengers and five crew" on CPN radio".[1]. --Aphaia 02:30, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

That's odd. I must have quoted the wrong person. I meant to use this quote from the Newsday version of the AP story:

Transportation Minister Jose Ortiz told CPN radio that the plane carried 93 passengers and five crew membmers.

Thanks for pointing it out. Theshibboleth 02:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Photos

If anyone can find public domain pictures for this, that'd be extremely good. Theshibboleth 03:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it is extremely unlikely we'll find a public domain picture (pretty much government-only; slight chance the public domain Brazillian News Agency might have a pic we can use), however we ca upload Fair use images, so log as they aren't roduced by a news agency. -- NGerda 03:44, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

I know. I was just thinking about the pictures someone found for the unexplained San Francisco expolosion. Theshibboleth 04:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Well I've at least found some commercial images.

Many airline enthusiasts take photos of every plane they ever encounter at an airport and upload them to the internet. Here is a simple search of TANS Peru aircraft at airliners.net. We would of course have to identify the specific plane involved in the crash (what was its Boeing Customer Code?) and convince one of those who have taken a photo of that plane to release their image under a free license. That particular site puts a watermark on its images, so it would be best for a contributor to e-mail/upload the original image, rather than the one hosted at the site. Someone, apparently without prompting, did previously upload a GFDL photo of the Helios Airways plane that crashed to the English Wikipedia.--Pharos 09:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
