"...it was quite a show here from my office window 2 miles away..." I missed it when it was at its worst, but the radio is saying the VCU Arts School is now getting worse. They said that crews are coming in from Henrico and Chesterfield to help get it under control.

"It's live. Evacuations underway. Find a tv screen."
I would if I could, no TV's in this office building. Just a view out of my 13th floor office window. There's some smoke, nothing like an hour ago.

Wow! My wife works in a building currently under construction at VCU. (Fortunately not this one, but this definitely got my attention for a moment...)

Yeah, I hate it when they interrupt Rush for their breathless reports. WRVA now saying 1 injury, smoke inhalation.

A newly constructed apartment going up like dry pinewood? Doesn't sound like it was up to code.

Are you aware of the tanker explosion on I-95 this morning between NYC and Boston which is supposed to close the Interstate for weeks to months?
What else of note is along I-95?

Friday is actually the busiest news day.
Second shoes drop on Friday, giving everyone the weekend to respond, vascillate, obscure or duck for cover.

Atta used it as his route all the time. I also think it was
the same route for the DC snipers.

Any info on what's in that area?Broad Street is one of the main streets in Richmond, with many government offices, businesses, hotels, etc. Prayers up - this could be real bad!

It's well over 20 blocks from me, but thanks anyway. Just checked out the window, and the smoke's really down...on TeeVee, it looks like the firefighters finally have the upper hand. Will be interested to find out what those explosions were.

"Are you aware of the tanker explosion on I-95 this morning between NYC and Boston which is supposed to close the Interstate for weeks to months?" First I've heard of it...do they suspect terrorism?
"What else of note is along I-95?"
Do you mean in Richmond, or in general? As fer Richmond, I-95 runs straight thru the heart of the City.

Oh, wow! Off I-95...
"Goethais Bridge...four-truck collision between Staten Island and NJ...one tanker carrying liquid nitrogen...injured and one dead driver."
Wonder if the dead guy was driving the nitro tanker...and when he died?
Anyone see "Long Kiss Good-night?"
