Wikipedia is based on published references[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia! You may wonder why I reversed this edit in which you stated your belief the content was wrong. Wikipedia is based on published sources. If you think the newspapers got the information wrong, it is important to find other published sources that contradict the newspapers and/or that say that the newspapers got it wrong.

Your edit stated: "There were not three girls killed in a plan crash headed to West Valley Christian School. There was 1 girl who was unfortunately killed on the runway by an ambulance after she was out of the plane. They were not headed to Los Angeles, but to San Fransisco)" - While one was killed by the ambulance, she died as a result of the crash happening and so is counted in the fatalities!

Remember that people may have connections when they fly from place to place. The Asiana flight was bound to San Francisco, but these students could easily have had a connecting flight to Los Angeles. It's very common to book connecting flights instead of nonstop ones in order to save money. Alternatively they could have had ground transportation (a bus or car) that would take them to the camp.

A review of the sources:

The CNN page says: "The pair, along with 28 classmates and four teachers, were headed to a summer church camp held by the West Valley Christian School near Los Angeles. The camp is aimed at helping foreign students improve their English skills. " (referring to YE Mengyuan and WANG Linjia)
The AP source says: "The three victims of the July 6 crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 in San Francisco were teenage girls who attended the same school in eastern China:" (this refers to YE and WANG as well as LIU Yipeng)
