The text (intro) says the crash happened in December 24, but the infobox says the 25th. Typo, typo, who's got the typo? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I was wondering who'd be first to spot that!. It was the 24th, typo fixed. Mjroots (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
