[edit]

Why is this a Northwest Airlines flight when the livery is Delta. Shouldn't this be "Delta Airlines Flight 253"?

There is an explanation in the "Notes" section, which is cited three separate times throughout the article... Headphase (talk) 13:17, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of relevance

[edit]

Verbally disruptive passenger incident On December 27, 2009, two days after the original incident, the crew of another Flight 253 (operating the same route) requested emergency assistance with a Nigerian passenger who they said had become "verbally disruptive".[1] The crew questioned the passenger after other passengers expressed concern that he had been in the lavatory for over an hour. It was later determined that the man was a businessman who had fallen ill from food poisoning during the flight, and did not pose any security risk.[2]

I relocated the foregoing text to the talk page because it lacks sufficient connection to the incident the article is about. If that passenger hadn’t been a Nigerian citizen, probably nobody would have come to the idea to include that in this article.—2003:DE:9725:FB00:D4D8:907E:652E:EC0E (talk) 00:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC) 2003:DE:9725:FB00:D4D8:907E:652E:EC0E (talk) 00:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
