- ... that in 1972, foggy conditions meant rescue crews at O'Hare International Airport were unaware an aircraft had been involved in a crash until 28 minutes after the accident?

Length, creation date, the hook and its reference are fine. I ran the [Duplicate Detector] on the article and its single source but it did not seem to work (perhaps something to do with the Accident Report being a pdf file?). I examined various sections by hand and think that the author of the article has managed to rewrite the material from the accident report well enough to avoid an accusation of close paraphrasing.
