Under Events, the entry that reads "STS-60 is launched, carrying Sergei Krikalev, the first Russian cosmonaut to fly aboard the Shuttle" is missing a period at the end. 98.210.124.96 (talk) 00:20, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

1959 plane crash in Iowa

Can someone add the name of the pilot who also died ?

Why? Deb (talk) 15:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

because he died too...4 people died not just 3 or does his life not matter as much because he wasn't a singer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.68.122 (talk) 15:37, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Was he notable (per WP:GNG)? Sepcifically, notable for something other than the crash. The other three people were. This isn't a comprehensive list of everyone, just people who do meet the notability guidelines. Tarl N. (discuss) 15:45, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I would get that if 15 people die and only 3 were "notable" but it was only 4 people who died why not just list all four even if just as "the pilot" ? Kind of sad we only care about "famous" people — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.68.122 (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

From Jan 26 "2020 – A Sikorsky S-76B flying from John Wayne Airport to Camarillo Airport crashes in Calabasas, 30 miles west of Los Angeles, killing all nine people on board, including former five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant"

at least it includes the total number of people killed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.68.122 (talk) 15:25, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
