2. saw this on TV

while waiting in line at the bank (only time I watch TV news). The fire appeared to be confined to the top stories of one end of the hotel. Sound was off, so I don't know if there were any casualties.

8. Hope it's not a structural steel frame/reinforced concrete building...

No steel frame/reinforced concrete building has ever collapsed from fire without the 9/11 pixie dust.
