Camelot Hotel on Fire

[TulsaJayhawk]

From the helicopter video shots provided by KTUL, it looks like the west side of the formerly grand hotel has a fairly serious fire happening right now.

How interesting that this happens on the second day of demolition.

Implying QT is asking for assistance from TFD to carry some of the asbestos away?

Anyone living over there might want to take a break from breathing for a bit....

Wait a minute, didn't the last high profile property the city condemned burn down?  Where was Kathy this afternoon?

Wow the news reporters are so intelligent.....

"The Smoke is clean and safe"

"We think the smoke and fire is coming from inside the building"



Way to go Ch. 2.....

KOKI is saying that the mattresses and carpet thrown out of the building was what caught on fire.

There were still freaking mattresses in there?  That must be nasty.

I assume (well, hope) that since demolition started yesterday, that asbestos abatement had already been completed.  I live nearby, but luckily the wind is blowing the other way right now

The concept and voice-over is lame, but here's a video showing some fairly recent interior shots: http://one.revver.com/watch/74345/flv/affiliate/30734

Asbestos FIBER is what I understand to be dangerous.  Asbestos itself does not burn anyway, that's why it was used on parts of the Saturn 5 Rocket.  But I still wouldnt breath it.  [:I]

Probably a little red phosphorous in the carpet left over from meth lab cookers. A little friction and there you go, fire!

Does anyone know if that hotel is made out of wood, or does it have a steel frame? If it is all wood it can be darn dangerous. Wood collapses easy in fires.
