Humongous Fire on the Plaza

[gblowfish]

I've heard from some of my medical pals that some were taken to St. Luke's and some with burns taken to KU Med. Some people still missing, could be a bad ending.

Latest I've heard: Crews digging to install fiber optic cable for the new construction of the new Polsinelli law firm building hit an 80+ year old gas line.

Boom.

Lawsuit city...

I don't know why, but I've been mesmerized by this whole thing, watching the live news feed for 3+ hours. The cadaver dogs have been there & there's a group of about 8 firefighters digging in one area with a large light shining on it...not looking good.

So how do these cadaver dogs' smell anything when the fire is as hot as this one? You'd think all that would be left is bone material?

i heard it broke down like this. think of a pot of stew. when you, a human i assume, smell it, you smell stew, but when you see it, you can see the individual ingredients like beef, carrots, corn, etc... when a dog sees the stew, he sees one thing, stew. but when he smells it, he smells each of the individual ingredients, the way we humans see the individual ingredients.

I wonder who did the locates or if they were done at all?
