@Tails Wx: Not a review, but I'd like to briefly note that the Hill source doesn't mention the Digidog at all. After a little digging, I found this source, where FDNY operations chief John Esposito said: "This is the first time that we've been able to fly inside in a collapse to do this and try to get us some information again without risking the lives of firefighters." I think this is the first time the FDNY used the Digidog in a structural collapse, so ALT1ALT0 should probably be clarified to that effect.Great work on the article on the way. I noticed that SecretName101 and I appear to be major contributors as well; do you mind if he and I are also credited? Epicgenius (talk) 14:19, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Epicgenius, I've clarified ALT0 (and not ALT1, but unless I'm mistaken, please remind me) and I've updated the website source. And thanks, you can add yourselves to be credited! TailsWx14:32, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tails Wx: The change to ALT0 looks good to me. I misspoke, my apologies; I don't think there's anything wrong with ALT1. And thanks - I just wanted to make sure you were fine with me adding SecretName101 and myself. I didn't want to seem like I was imposing Epicgenius (talk) 14:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: @Epicgenius: thanks for making those suggestions as it helped me formally review this nomination. @Tails Wx: AGF you either have done QPQ, are eligible for a free DYK, or you will complete one and attach to the nom? MaxnaCarta (talk) 04:18, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd recommend shortening the lede a bit. The article is overall really short, but the lede currently sits at three paragraphs and 293 words. I'll leave it up to you to remove whatever you think that is not important enough (e.g. "who was a 59-year-old and the manager of the garage").
The rest of the article complies with the MOS:LAYOUT and MOS:WTW guidelines. There is no fiction and embedded lists within the article, so I am skipping MOS:WAF and MOS:EMBED.
