For as long as that fire raged & to be as hot as it was to do this little of damage to the adjacent building says a lot for the building guidelines. I see what looks like aluminum studs & fireproof sheetrock.

I imagine the building has water damage from the overhead sprinklers' but at least the fire was contained to JJ's.

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.

You just missed out on the fire sale. It was a barn burner.

I have a good friend of mine that works at the Unity Temple, and lives in a 4th floor apartment two blocks away from this site. His windows were miraculously NOT blown out, although many around him in the same building were. He said he had a front row seat in his living room watching the firefighters. He had just got home about ten minutes before this happened.

He sent me some pictures. I don't think he took any of these, but he found them surfing the web. Pretty crazy.

Radio just said the searchers found the missing woman dead in the rubble. Damn.

I was holding my balls for several hours after.

And dammit. I thought we'd make it out without any deaths, somehow. :/

It's damn near a miracle that there was only 1 death (assuming that the people currently in the hospital survive). Kudos to the restaurant staff for getting the customers out before the blast.

absolutely amazing only one person was killed. just watched the news conference, and i have to say, i like the way sly james handles the media. basically told the media they were spreading rumors and that he was only going to deal in facts.

I'm kind of flabbergasted as to why all these people who smelled gas that was as overpowering as described, didn't immediately get right the **** out of there.

theelusiveeightrop · 02-20-2013, 05:18 PM

Lesson learned. Smell gas, get out.
