DYK nomination[edit]

The matter is a little more complicated than it first appears. Note 1 clarifies the situation by saying Third-worst was shared by two that caused the death of all 18 occupants – the 1938 Kyeema crash east of Melbourne, and the Fitzroy at Perth airport.

It may be best to omit the comment about being the third-worst in Australia; or to say it was equal third-worst in Australia. Dolphin (t) 02:21, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
