The DOD website cited as the source of the 189 number no longer mentions the number of victims, and I had to dig down a couple of layers to reach a page that now says there were 184 victims. As the article breaks the number of victims down into those on the aircraft and those on the ground, it would be nice to find a reliable source that also gives the breakdown. A USAToday article here says 125 in the Pentagon and 59 on the plane died. The WP article American Airlines Flight 77 states that 64 on the plane and 125 in the Pentagon died, while citing the above USAToday article, so it looks like we need to check all of the WP articles related to 9/11 to find errors and inconsistencies. - Donald Albury20:07, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And now I think there is a difference in saying there were 184 victims and that 189 died, as the five hijackers are not being counted as victims. I'm holding off on making any more changes until I have found reliable sources that make that distinction clear. - Donald Albury21:57, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
American English
Why does this article use British date order (dd/mm/yyyy) instead of American date order (mm/dd/yyyy)? It is supposed to use American English, according to the talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.187.215.109 (talk) 01:56, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
