Greetings

Hello Skrupp1015. I see that you're a new editor. This is just to ensure that you are aware that you can see the history of all edits by hitting the "View history" menu button. There you will also find the reasons given for most edits (all edits should have a reason given in the box provided on the edit page). I also wonder why you seem to feel so strongly that we should assume that no fortunate soul somehow survived the impact, was thrown out of the broken fusilage, and floated to the surface... This water is very shallow. Such "miracles" do happen. A few crashes have only one or a few survivors. It seems disrespectful to write off every last soul without good justification. And it's just inconsistent with WP's carefully framed policies to insert our own conclusions. We must write only what we find in sources. thanks Layzeeboi (talk) 23:11, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
