Talk:2002 Überlingen mid-air collision

Image of BAL Tupolev Tu-154

User:100.38.84.234 has been reverting my edits on the picture of the BAL Tu-154. The correct image of the aircraft would be the one with the white tail as in the wreckage of the Tu-154, the aircraft had a white post-lease tail, not the pre-lease blue tail seen on most BAL aircraft. The animations got it all wrong. 223.229.228.97 (talk) 08:02, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Detail Clarification

In this section the sentence "They traveled on an overnight train to Moscow and arrived on 29 June, then headed to the wrong airport so that they missed their original flight when their bus driver accidentally mistook them, and remained until 1 July to find the arranged charter flight." can we get some clarification on what this means and should read as?

"Headed to the wrong airport" which airport did they end up at? Did they choose to go to the wrong airport? I mean, I know they didn't, but this entire sentence could be a bit more concise about the mix-up.

"When the bus driver mistook them" Did the driver "mistook" them for different people, or did the driver drive them to the wrong airport? What exactly was the mistake made?

"Remained until 1 July to find the arranged charter flight" Did they remain at the wrong airport, or did they travel to the correct one? Previous archived discussion indicates the charter was a hasty arrangement, as well.

I mostly ask this because the cited source is behind a paywall, and I cannot check the source for context, in order to improve this sentence. King keudo (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
