Hindsight bias in this article?
editRecently I came across the phenomenon of hindsight bias and I wondered whether this bias might also be present in this Wikipedia article... According to the hindsight bias, in retrospect it is overestimated how likely, predictable and/or inevitable an event was, and obviously a study has even found it in Wikipedia articles on accidents/catastrophes: doi:10.1007/s00426-017-0865-7 So I wondered whether that could be the case with this article, too, – and whether the disaster is presented as more predictable and inevitable than it actually was before. Maybe we should search again for information that would have spoken against its occurrence? Apparently, the hindsight bias occurs because of a retrospective focus on information that spoke FOR the event while ignoring (or not taking seriously) information that would have argued for another outcome, which then, of course, leads to the impression of inevitability and foreseeability... This is why I wondered whether this article might also be affected by hindsight bias and should thus be checked again for this? --2A02:810D:1300:38E5:1DE1:57D:1732:FF2D (talk) 20:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Image of BAL Tupolev Tu-154
editUser:100.38.84.234 has been reverting my edits on the picture of the BAL Tu-154. The correct image of the aircraft would be the one with the white tail as in the wreckage of the Tu-154, the aircraft had a white post-lease tail, not the pre-lease blue tail seen on most BAL aircraft. The animations got it all wrong. 223.229.228.97 (talk) 08:02, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Detail Clarification
editIn this section the sentence "They traveled on an overnight train to Moscow and arrived on 29 June, then headed to the wrong airport so that they missed their original flight when their bus driver accidentally mistook them, and remained until 1 July to find the arranged charter flight." can we get some clarification on what this means and should read as?
"Headed to the wrong airport" which airport did they end up at? Did they choose to go to the wrong airport? I mean, I know they didn't, but this entire sentence could be a bit more concise about the mix-up.
"When the bus driver mistook them" Did the driver "mistook" them for different people, or did the driver drive them to the wrong airport? What exactly was the mistake made?
"Remained until 1 July to find the arranged charter flight" Did they remain at the wrong airport, or did they travel to the correct one? Previous archived discussion indicates the charter was a hasty arrangement, as well.
I mostly ask this because the cited source is behind a paywall, and I cannot check the source for context, in order to improve this sentence. King keudo (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
