The latitude and longitude given in the official NTSB accident report are 37°38'28"N122°28'00"W. That location is incorrect. Period aerial photographs taken of the debris trail at the crash site show the true location is on the uppermost eastern slope of Sweeney Ridge, less than a quarter mile upslope from the San Francisco Jail. The actual impact point is very close to 37°37'26"N 122°27'53"W, which is 1.19 miles south of the misplaced location in the report. Incorrect locations in accident reports are not unheard of, at least in historical reports that were written before the advent of GPS. Even so, I'm surprised that this particular report got it wrong by over a mile, given the crash's close proximity to well-known landmarks. Itsfullofstars (talk) 05:54, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
