Revision history

Gave Polapee Suwunchwee's full name and office both at first mention ("Thailand's deputy interior minister, Polapee Suwunchwee") and again at the point of his direct quote, replacing the surname-only reference. All figures, attributions and the 15-versus-23 injured disagreement, the stated_by disagreement, the location-granularity disagreement and the three competing setting accounts are unchanged.

Added the Daily Mirror's competing figure of 23 injured, the deputy interior minister's quote on how the injured were hurt, the education minister's statement, the AFP-reported police cordon, and the differing accounts of the location and setting.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
