Wikipedia

Notability?

for eg, where is the wikipedia article for this event that happened at around the same time?: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/14/us-bangladesh-ferry-idUSBRE82D0RX20120314 Bangladesh ferry dragged from river, death toll at 110 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.78.183 (talk) 13:16, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The head of the Cantonal police Christian Varone described the crash as “unprecedented”"

"Overcrowded and unregulated ferries often run in to trouble on low-lying Bangladesh's extensive network of rivers and waterways. Hundreds of people are killed in accidents every year." 213.121.241.34 (talk) 15:41, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing one way or the other but apparently this is the worst bus accident since 1982 when a train killed 39 German tourists by plowing into their bus. More recently http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/apr/18/2 12 killed as Swiss bus plunges into ravine in 2005. 70.90.87.73 (talk) 17:23, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear 122.167.78.183, Wikipedia is a free and open source Encyclopedia, so YOU can write that article, if you wish, or anyone else that is interested in doing so. Tarius (talk) 18:19, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nationalities

Is there available information about deaths by nationalities? --Olli (talk) 06:21, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Driver distracted by changing DVD?

The Italian media today alleged that one of the survivors has claimed the crash happened as the driver was changing a DVD.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:32, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Media reports today (Sky News, 15.26 GMT) say no witness statement exists to support this allegation. --62.163.152.44 (talk) 15:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
