Friend of mine (attorney) offices quite close by -- she heard the explosion and was pretty damned alarmed at the full emergency response.  Cops are using her building as a command center.  Gas explosion, sounds like at least 11 injured so far.  I  presume that was an in-use and occupied hotel?  That's messed up.

In before the tired "my mixtape just dropped" references.

So the initial thought is gas explosion based on that first tweet?

It’s a fairly new (~6 months) hotel owned by Sandman built into a historic building. They have a nice lobby bar and a good sushi restaurant in the basement.

Pictures look awful.

Looks like gas explosion with no large fire evident. I hate that there are casualties. Hope it’s “only” a gas explosion and nothing else.

If this had happened during my morning commute today, in which I may have shredded my car seat due to, ummm, some offgassing issues......then MAYBE.

Shart thread is that way... 

I just want to say fuck Atmos. Whether it’s their fault or not. How scary. Shit. 

Damn. I guess Fort Worth really is exploding.

No casualties reported. 

20 reported. Up from 11 which was the first news.

Late Monday afternoon, Trojacek said 26 rooms at the hotel were occupied when the explosion occurred and that the number of people injured in the blast increased from 11 to 21.

MedStar Ambulance's Matt Zavadsky said 20 people were treated at the scene or transported to area hospitals including one critical person, four who were serious, and 14 who were minor. One person walked into JPS on their own after the explosion. There have been no fatalities reported.

No casualties reported. 

“Casualties” in trauma are any serious injury up to and including death. Sorry for the trauma speak. I realize that casualty in Layman’s terms usually means death.

Kennedy stayed his last night at the Hilton across the street. The building that exploded was Atmos/XTO until they moved out

It's interesting how similar their posting styles are to one another, and they have similar usernames, presumably selected independently.  Twins separated at birth?
