Overall: 
interesting read, i think ALT0 is the hookiest and best to use, if ALT2 was used then it should be changed to "that after parts of 140 Broadway's air-conditioning system were dumped into a tank, 10,000 workers went without air conditioning for weeks until scuba divers retrieved them?" because otherwise it seems the whole system went in the tank Mujinga (talk) 19:37, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
