Hi Epicgenius. This well-written article, expanded about 12x, is long enough, new enough, and well-sourced. ALT1 is certainly the most interesting. It is cited to a map which identifies the top floor as a "target range". Other hooks are also cited (could not check main hook or ALT3, but assuming good faith). Image free and legible at low resolution. QPQ done. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 18:43, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
