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. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |

MAH That hotel was not a high rise. IIRC it was seven stories tall and the a/c took down portions of five, but since the a/c was so much smaller the building remained, for the most part, structurally intact. Al Minyard |
