... that most of the aircraft and two of the victims of the crash of Western Air Lines Flight 636 were never removed from the San Francisco Bay?

Article was made on the 23rd, so is new enough. At over 15,000 characters, it is super long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and the copyvio detector finds no issues. The hook is short enough, interesting (and disturbing), and is cited in-line for the relevant parts of the article. The QPQ has been done. Looks good to go!
