Thanks Hunter. This is the brand new Elements hotel, fully engulfed just before it started coming down:

It's interesting that the Element was the only large commercial building that went off to the races. What time was that pic? My Dad and I were at 95th & South Boulder at 2:00 pm, right under the plume after leaving his medical appointment.

Steel frame/siding or concrete tilt up vs stick build. Material flammability is key.

Some of those buildings are a study in what you can do with 2x4's and strandboard. I am kinda surprised such construction is allowed for such facilities, but it seems to be the norm for apartments and hotels.
