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.

how many floors is it??
Do you know of any 10+ story buildings made of wood??

I didn't know how tall it was. There have been buildings made totally out of wood in the past. One that is still around is the Grand Hotel on Macknaw Island in Michigan, it's 2 or 3 stories high and something like 600' long and all wood. Most other large all wood buildings have been distroyed by fire.

The twin towers were steel and concrete and they seemed to have burned with a little help.

Is the city or insurance company now obligated to clean up the rubble ? You can't beat them as they deal from the bottom of the deck.

Burning jet fuel is a completely different story.

The steel in the twin towers sat in 2000 degree flames for a hour and became glowing red hot and got soft and pulled away from their supports. Then once the supports gave way the tons of building weight above the weak area just collasped down. The steel did not melt, no regular fire can make enough heat to melt steel.

So you're saying it wasn't the explosives planted there before the planes hit.

edit : to clarify, that is a joke.  we don't need the thread going that direction...please

They built a 3 or 4 story hotel out of wood here in Columbus, Ohio about 5 years ago. It's across the street from a Wendy's Restaurant, right off I-70 & Rome-Hilliard Road. The nane escapes me now. I know it's all wood because I seen it go up when they were building it. I guess they would have all the up to date fire prevention systems in the building and fire escapes and things like that.
