Deadliest? edit
Discrepancy: This article (unreferenced) describes the accident as Australia's second deadliest. However, the Fokker F27 article describes it as the deadliest. Maybe this needs clarifying.--Lester 20:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Actually, tied first for civil aviation. 29 fatalities in the ANA DC-4 crash 1950 near Guildford WA (VH-ANA). One passenger died after six days in hospital. The worst crash was 40 deaths for a USAAF B17 at Townsville in 1943. Second worst was 31 deaths for a USAFF C47 at Canal Creek 1943. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.63.240 (talk) 04:52, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
