 * Comment: I couldn't find a source that directly explains this, but I think it's quite obvious that it means she was reporting from an aircraft. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:53, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * An airplane? a hot-air balloon? a dirigible? Shot out of a cannon? Yes, I also think it must mean she was in some sort of flying vehicle, but it's strange that we have to guess and assume about the basic facts of the event, and I don't feel great about its being used as the hook if we can't find one published sentence about what actually happened.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 20:43, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

ALT1:... that early Canadian broadcaster Claire Wallace was known for her reporting stunts, which included climbing a Mexican volcano and joining a deep-sea diving expedition?
 * Hello, sorry about the wait! Unfortunately, none of my sources offer more detail about Wallace's Niagara Falls broadcast, so I don't know what sort of aircraft may have been used. If it really bothers you though, I can offer you an alternate DYK hook (see below). How does this one sound? Alanna the Brave (talk) 00:14, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
