The article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, neutrally written with literally no copyvios. The hook is cited-inline in the article, short-enough, and is interesting. The source is offline so I'll AGF on it. The picture used in the hook is freely licensed, used in the article, and is easily discernible at 100px. Just a QPQ is left to be completed after which I'd be happy to pass the hook. Ashley yoursmile! 18:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ashleyyoursmile, QPQ done at Template:Did you know nominations/United Airlines Flight 328. Do me a favor and ping me next time--thanks (and thanks, Mandarax). The ref for the hook is offline for you? Strange--not for me, but it's also cited here. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Uncle G/On common Google Books mistakes is probably the explanation here. Uncle G (talk) 17:52, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Uncle G, thanks--that's helpful. I knew some of those things, but some of it was news. And you're suggesting that I'll get more if I sign in? Drmies (talk) 14:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for the late reply, Drmies. The source seems fine now. I'm approving the hook. Ashley yoursmile! 10:54, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
