I've edited this for the following reasons:

  • It's not Wikipedia precedent to give the names of crew on an accident aircraft, especially if they survived and especially if their actions didn't contribute to the accident. The only exception I can think of is when crew members are verifiably singled out by a notable third party for conspicuous bravery (such as is the case with the crew of United Airlines Flight 232). In this case, the first officer is still alive.
    • Except that in this case the ASA529 crew were ALSO singled out for bravery. Even then, I name flight crew (and maybe head or notable cabin crew) in crash articles anyway. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The numbers of dead and injured that were originally in the article were completely different than those in the NTSB report. The report quoted eight officially dead with one person dying after the 30-day period. That makes nine unofficially, eight officially. I'm not sure where ten came from.
  • I'm not sure what "it was already scheduled for its last flight" meant. Commercial aircraft are normally scheduled weeks in advance. (In fact, that's what I do for a living.) The Flight 529 aircraft probably had 70 or more flights scheduled in the next month. That's standard procedure. --Charlene 17:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Air Crash Investigations says that 10 died, at the end of the show. That's probably where the ten came from; I don't know if it was an error, or someone died from injuries after the NTSB report was made.--Prosfilaes 20:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the number of fatalities, I wrote 8 officially and 9 unofficially in the initial version, and I still think that this is the most reliable figure we have. I changed it back from 10 a few times, until finally losing interest in it. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Season 2 Episode 2 of Mayday also says the number of fatalities is 10. And image of the memorial found here http://strollingthroughgeorgia.blogspot.com/2007/08/atlantic-southeast-airlines-flight-529_02.html lists 10 names. I'll leave it to more experience editors to decide if that is sufficient. Vygramul 20:45, 13 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vygramul (talk • contribs)

The official NTSB report says eight (five in the accident and three within 30 days) it also acknowledges a further death 4 months later which is still officially classified as a serious injury, that makes 8 or 9. Other than the memorial clearly a tenth-victim is outside of what the authorities would consider an "official fatality" which is eight. That said if you could find a reliable source that another passenger subsequently died from injuries then that could be mentioned, a picture of the memorial is not I am afraid a reliable source.

The tenth name on the memorial is Mary Jean Adair, the passenger who died of a heart attack 8 weeks after the crash. Ssscienccce (talk) 22:29, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
