Was Someone Inside Imploded Hotel?

HOUSTON (AP) — Police searched the rubble of a demolished hotel in Houston Friday for any sign that someone may have been in the building when it was imploded.

 

An amateur video appeared to show a figure inside the 13-story Crowne Plaza Hotel seconds before the implosion southwest of downtown Houston, police said.

 

"It seems to show movement just prior to the implosion," spokesman Sgt. Nate McDuell said Thursday. "But that hasn't been confirmed to be human."

 

Workers in the adjacent Texas Medical Center also reported seeing someone enter the building just before the detonation.

 

Investigators asked the demolition company to stop work and began searching the site Tuesday after receiving the video. Officials with Cherry Demolition, who said all their workers were accounted for, told police they searched the building twice before the implosion.

 

The Harris County medical examiner, homicide detectives, crime scene investigators and crews with cadaver dogs searched the wreckage Wednesday and Thursday. Houston police spokesman Victor Senties said the search resumed Friday morning.

 

The hotel was imploded as part of a planned demolition project.

Yesterday the news did report that the dogs found something but it was too late to go further, so they were going back today to see what they found.

Couldn't get the linked video to load. Not sure why it's "cool" either.

Have you ever been to a live building demolition? They absolutely cover the ground with barricades, warning signs, there are cops everywhere, all that kind of stuff. They also get on the bullhorn and yell a bunch of verbal warnings too. So if some short-bus moron was such a gargantuan dumbass that he ignored all that shit and wandered into a building marked for implosion anyway, well, I think they got what they deserved and it's frigging hilarious.

 

Unless it was a kid. Or a mental patient who didn't know the difference. Or a legit retard. Or... well, not so funny if I actually think about it. But still, they do block off the building pretty well, so I don't know how someone could be smart enough to sneak in there but dumb enough to think it's a good idea.

I assume the building was abandoned? Maybe it was a homeless person squatting, passed out in the back of a closet somewhere, and he didn't wander out until after they searched/had everything set up. Maybe the guy on the bullhorn woke him up, and he came out to see what all the commotion was about.

I can't seem to find him in the video.

[CBright7831]

Someone really should point him out to me.

They highlight him by going up close in the last couple of seconds

[CBright7831]

I think Im see him.

 

Did they find out if it was a person or not?

The rhythm of those explosions would be an awesome way to kick off an album.

Did they find out if it was a person or not?

 

I believe they are still trying to figure it out. Yeah I know it's been this long.
