We say: "All twelve crew and 35 passengers were rescued", and yet, 46 survivors, 1 missing. If both are true, the missing man went missing after being rescued. Is that the case? Or are the sources contradictory?--Nø (talk) 09:54, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to be the case - Air Niugini's statement [1] says that all passengers were evacuated, with US Navy divers confirming this after searching the plane, but one of the passengers subsequently went missing. Nick-D (talk) 10:38, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure; there are two sets of news sources: Thise from before the missing person was reported, and those that announce it / after. If you can read the 2nd group as a correction rather than as an update, you cannot conclude he went missing after being recued. Are any reliable sources clear on this point?--Nø (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No that's my point. Can you? Well I could link some news outlets, but it is not clear to me how to reconcile them. Without a source clarifying whether he went missing before or after rescuing, can we conclude?--Nø (talk) 08:39, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So the matter has been resolved; he was never rescued but was later found dead by divers. This discussion is no longer relevant.--Nø (talk) 18:42, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike from Wikipedia articles I have read about commercial airline accidents the pilots' names are not mentioned. Why? Ulubay (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
