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.

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.
