Flight?

Who said the flight number? Who said the weather conditions. There are no references to verify any of those. DragonFire1024 (talk) 02:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

udesirable side-effecct of wrong aircraft pictured in the infobox

The aircraft graphic of an unrelated Pulkovo 737-500 should not have ended up moved in the infobox of an Aeroflot air crash. Use your brain and consider the implications of potential misrepresentation. Please remove the graphic from the infobx and place as it was before, separate of the infobox. If a suitable foto surfaces, fine. If one never shows up, we sure won't give an unwitting impression that some other Russian airlline had a hull loss. --Mareklug 06:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Mode of failure

There seems to be more information coming out about the crash. They lost contact at 1100 metres, caught fire at 1000 metres, and crashed, on fire 'like a comet' at a 30-40 degree angle. This suggests a fairly sudden and catastrophic fire. We should look out for more info in this area. Buckethed (talk) 11:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Casualty confusion

There seems to be no consensus on the fatalities; though common after an accident of this kind, we're still putting forward alot of contradictory information. I've compiled a list below from the sources in the article.

  • news.bbc.co.uk, lenta.ru, ukpress.google.com, reuters.fr, news.yahoo.com, Aeroflot-Nord: 82 passengers, 6 crew
  • gazeta.ru: 83 passengers, 5 crew
  • avherald.com: 81 passengers, 6 crew
  • afp.google.com: 88 passengers and crew
  • Investigator Vladimir Markin: 82 Passengers, 5 crew

This while the infobox and nationality list states 91 casualties, including six crew. I can't seem to find any nationality list from a reliable source. Since the major news outlets agree with the operator on 82 passengers and 6 crew, I've changed the info box to reflect this untill figures are confirmed. As for the nationality box, we need some reliable figures. Nigholith (talk) 15:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Aeroflot-Nord, not Aeroflot

It is the low-cost regional airline, known as Aeroflot-Nord. Surely the name of the article should be Aeroflot-Nord Flight 821? --Asterion 16:05, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Aeroflot-Nord isn't a low airline firstly. The aircraft operated by Aeroflot-Nord was operating for Aeroflot, SU821, as evidenced by Polet-Sirena. --Tovarishch Komissar 16:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
