Sources

The article is basically a direct translation of the German article (see link). All of the sources quoted there are in German. To what extent should one repeat them/refer to them here? The Seventh Taylor (talk) 08:02, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We can use non-English sources, but English is preferred. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:17, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comments on assessment

I rated this as start class rather than stub because of the amount of information. But it needs:

a lead -- probably 3-5 sentences describing players, location, fatalities
expanded description of the crash separate from the lead
aftermath needs sources/citations

looking forward to seeing an expanded article, if/when possible. Auntieruth55 (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article has apparently been removed. I think the following page contains the same article but lacking the original I cannot verify that. WDR.de: Inferno mit umstrittenen Folgen The Seventh Taylor (talk) 21:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Epidemiology

It's not clear what the methodology for calculating cancer cases was, not even what area counts as the vicinity, and what was control. Given other environmental disturbances (for example the Heinkel fire in c. 1985 affecting Remscheid, and Chernobyl affecting much of Europe), attributing effects of the destruction of the plane and the building is not supported (without more information from RS), let alone hypotheticals about the presence of DU.
