Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • Clarify total number of people on board: UPI reports 45 adults, Daily Mail reports 48 passengers. Did one outlet miscount, or are different groups being described?
  • Confirm time of crash: UPI reports 4:45 p.m., Daily Mail reports 8pm (20:00). The difference is 3 hours 15 minutes. Which is correct, or did the crash occur at one time and the reporting refer to different events (initial crash vs. discovery)?
  • Number of injured: UPI and BBC state 40 injured. Daily Mail states 48 passengers with 5 dead, which if all 48 were aboard and 5 died would mean 43 injured. Clarify whether the 48 includes fatalities or whether Daily Mail is reporting a different total.
