Wrong location

edit

The crash's coordinates as represented are wrong. If you follow John Quincy Adams, the crash likely happened between Old Forge Road in Monroe and Cranbury Station - a stretch northeast of Hightstown. So why are the coordinates listed as being southwest of central Hightstown? 40°19'27.8"N 74°28'19.0"W might be more representative of the location. 2601:8B:C300:1A70:9D12:4BE0:6EBF:9282 (talk) 04:43, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

According to John Quincy Adams, the crash happened somewhere between 15 miles from the South Amboy pier and 3 miles from Hightstown, placing the crash site roughly between the Old Forge Road crossing in Monroe Township, New Jersey and Cranbury Station, New Jersey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8B:C300:1A70:9D12:4BE0:6EBF:9282 (talk) 04:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
