The KLM ad/van Zanten's photo

Is this photo really necessary for a general article about the disaster? There is an article about vZ with exactly the same photo , so what's the point of spreading it all over Wikipedia ? I think this photo/advert is not really relevant here, just like it wouldn't be relevant to post a photo of PH-BUF on an article dedicated to van Zanten himself!

Some might argue and say that this advert has a direct connection to the disaster, but I said that before and would repeat it again: van Zanten's so-called "stardom" is nothing but an urban myth. He wasn't a poster-boy of the company, he was only featured on that one particular advert (where his name isn't even mentioned! Remember this next time somebody tells you that the advert was made in order to praise the "big famous Captain! This myth is absolutely not true and can be proven as completely ridiculous just by reading the text on that advert!), and that does not make you a celebrity. Shame so many people still believe in this joke after almost 40 years.

I have removed it as it is an unfree image without a valid inclusion rationale. MilborneOne (talk) 11:01, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The football game

A very important football game was being listened to during this incident by the controllers. I've heard in the past that that was the principle cause. It only gets one line though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.137.196 (talk) 18:22, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It has been suggested that they were listening to a football match, but I don't think it was ever proven conclusively. In no way this would have been the principle cause though. Richard 08:27, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for Article: Seating Plan of Survivors

Hello.

I suggest adding an image, which shows the seating plan of PanAm Flight 1736, with the survivors. This example on the right does apply for ETH961.
But please note, that the Boeing 747 hasn't only got one deck.

But it would be interesting to have such a seating plan… --S536870912 (talk) 15:50, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
