[edit] 30th anniversary
Thirty years ago, on 10 September 1976, the two aircraft collided over Zagreb killing 176 people on board.
Rest in peace all who died, and rest in peace Mr. Gradimir Tasic.

[edit] Worst?
What exactly classifies this particular accident as "one of the worst accidents in aviation history"? I recently read every article on WP regarding aircraft accidents and noted many with greater loss of life and greater property damages. While I am sure that anyone involved in this accident, especially survivors of the victims, may feel an immense impact on their own lives, I fail to see a need to classify this as "one of the worst accidents in aviation history". The choice of words makes it seem slightly POV, at least that is how I took it. This is in no way meant to be a detraction from anyone who feels strongly about this article, merely an observation that the article does not seem to conform in this one tiny spot. Any comments from anyone?Radiooperator 04:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] BA/BEA
It should be left British Airways and not British European Airways, because BEA article says "...BEA ceased operations in 1974 when it was merged with the British Overseas Airways Corporation to form British Airways...", and the accident occured two years later in 1976. However they continuned using BEA callsign for some time... Comments ?

[edit] Possible copyvio?
Seems like most of the text on this page is a slightly altered copy-paste from this page. --Action Jackson IV 21:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
