Made statement factual not subjective, based on stats referenced in comments

| Jan 10, 2017 at 13:51 | comment | added | DavePhD | @user568458 table 3 is only the 430 subset. There is male/female data for almost the full 1,390. I'll count if get the time. Page 291 of the book starts the discussion of men and women: "In List 1, female victims totalled 112(26.05%); in List 3, they totalled 201(22.18%)." So roughly 24% women. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | @DavePhD That comment should probably be part of your answer, right now it reads like it's saying the claim is false. Also can you put any actual numbers to how many were male? Table 3 seems to say 70.47% male, 26.05% female and 3.49% unknown, and seems to be based on the same 430 people your above table is based on? Mentioning who this fraction of 430 is would help too (e.g. are they all those who were killed and have been named?) | |

| Jan 9, 2017 at 18:11 | comment | added | DavePhD | @MohammadSakibArifin Someone can still say "most of whom were women, children and the elderly" with the data I gave. Just reason to yourself: only 44% were age 19-50, and some of those were women, so the claim is true. Only the New York Times is wrong to say "nearly all", but the other two OP sources could be considered correct. The book is much more comprehensive than any newspaper article with numerous photographs of victims, names, location of death, cross checking of victim lists. | |
