Crews search a Texas hotel for anyone still trapped as investigators dig into what caused an explosion that injured 21 people

Tue, January 9, 2024 at 12:30 PM

"Rescuers are sifting through the rubble of a historic Texas hotel to try to find anyone who might still be trapped inside, one day after an apparent gas explosion rocked downtown Fort Worth.

The area immediately surrounding the Sandman Signature Fort Worth Downtown Hotel remains closed to the public Tuesday as officials investigate the cause of the blast.

“This is considered the actual immediate hot zone,” said Jimmy Pollozani with the Fort Worth Police Department. “We’re asking the community to stay away from this area.”

The nearly 104-year-old building, which officials say had recently been renovated, is in the busy downtown area near the Fort Worth Convention Center and City Hall.

One witness reported seeing people coming out of the hotel with bloody faces and seeing people on gurneys following the blast, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker said the blast was “heartbreaking for downtown Fort Worth.”

“It’s a beautiful building. It was just recently renovated and opened, and so we’ll work with the ownership of that building as quickly as possible,” Parker said Monday. “Our hearts and prayers are really with the victims at area hospitals.”

State officials are in contact with Forth Worth authorities and are ready to send additional help if needed, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement.

“The State of Texas is in close contact with Mayor Parker, Sheriff Waybourn, and other local partners and first responders in Fort Worth to assist with emergency response efforts following the tragic explosion at the Sandman Hotel,” the governor said...."

You'll have to wait for the next midget quiz show for the answer.

It's just a new squirts midget quiz show.

But if you're lucky you could win a couple of pesos.

And a tube of gorilla glue.

Alaska Air let the voice data recorder overwrite the 2 hour segment of tin can peeling.

It was not a choice. They are built that way for two hours and illegal
for the crew to turn it off. New ones will be something like 20 hours.

This was a new plane. I would expect it to have the newest model recorder.
Poor Boeing. They have had a lot of flak over the past few years over
the 737 Max. First there was the Max 8 and the avionics that caused a
couple of the planes to nosedive. They got that sorted out and now there
is the one incident with a Max 9. My friend is a retired senior pilot
and thinks they are superior aircraft.

The FAA requires only 2 hours of cockpit voice data. Proposed new
requirements are for 25 hours--for all newly manufactured aircraft.

A very devious choice to not pull the breaker and save the segment.
Oh and Spirit MANUFACTURING of Wichita Kansas must use high school dropouts to assemble their airframes and ship to Boeing in Renton Washington. Renton must be full of Idaho potato farming failures gone to big city Seattle to swing hammers. Idahoes are jealous of successful college grads working tech jobs.
The Boeing Engineering workplace is so toxic the Engineers formed a Union decades ago.
McDonald Douglass quit the airplane business and so should Boeing. AIRBUS can construct all airliner sizes

I got the same results as Ed, Dave, and Jill until I went back a second time
and the cartoon was visible. That might work for y'all, too.

I sent the cartoon downloaded to Jill and Dave. Perhaps they can forward
it to you.
