 Just turned to FOX.  Huge fire engulfing what looks like the entire hotel.   Remember the movie The Towering Inferno.  This is it.  The hotel is 63 stories.

They are saying NO injuries...and the fire is only on the outside of the hotel...no damage inside? Seriously?

 My husband is a contractor and he was shocked to see the flames, he said those high rises are almost impossible to burn.   He suspects it is a gas leak is what is burning.   I would think there  has to be smoke damage throughout the building.

So they now say 14 injured. That's still amazing...and as the fire burns they are going on with their huge fireworks display across the water. a million people watching. Must be surreal.
