Why is this called an accident? It was homicide, a deliberate act by Dutch pilots and presumably their superiors to shoot down the plane. IAmNitpicking (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

I don't know; this was titled after the flight initially. I've moved it to "incident". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
