Zion City v. Airport Highlands
- I saw that the News believed the site was a once-bustling Zion City neighborhood. I don't know if it moved, but the present Zion City neighborhood is several blocks east of the crash site. --Dystopos 12:07, 14 August 2013 (PDT)
- Sorry, when I said "News" at the beginning of my comment, I meant the news media in general, not specifically The Birmingham News. (Although the rest may have gotten their information from the News.) My thought was that sometime in the future, someone may come across a news story talking about a plane crash in Zion City and search for it, so I thought I'd help them find it. I don't know if that area was once part of Zion City or not. --Lkseitz 06:51, 15 August 2013 (PDT)

- Except I just (re-?)discovered that putting in "Zion City plane crash" and clicking Search gets you nothing. You have to specifically put in "2013 Zion City plane crash" and click Go for it to work. Time for a note in the article!

- Um, except for one thing. Looking at the City of Birmingham's online mapping, the side of 19th Avenue North the plane crashed on is actually in Brownsville Heights, not Airport Highlands. Of course, we could change the title of the article to the community of Airport Hills instead, which encompasses both. (Which sadly still does not include the Zion Hills neighborhood, because it's in East Lake. Didn't the debris spread out beyond that one neighborhood? Don't you love technicalities? --Lkseitz 08:53, 15 August 2013 (PDT)
