The closest we've seen was the B-25 that hit the Empire State Building,

About 20 years ago an A-7 hit a hotel / apartment building broadside in
Indianapols. was there secondary fire and colapse from that event?


Not as such. Of course, the A-7 was going slower, had already bounced
off of one building, and had a small fraction of the fuel. The hotel
was only seven stories tall, and was steel-reinforced concrete and
masonry, not structural steel (and about 1/20 the height).

Very different scenarios.
