DESCRIPTION: The collapse zone after they'd moved heavy equipment in.

KEY NOTES: It appears that both cable spools incurred some damage. You can see the items right at the expansion joint where the adjoining section slipped way. Two blast-resistant windows were blown out on floor two of the renovated area. Notice that floor one and two are blackened whereas three and above are not. The blast from the initial impact went mostly north on these two floors. That is why the fire progressively went north and gained elevation from the rising heat.

DESCRIPTION: Floor 1 windows blown out with debris.

KEY NOTES: If you notice in this photo how the debris decrease in density the further from the building you get then it can be implied that some are from the windows and the contents of the building being blown out by the initial blast. It's also evident that the window frames themselves have been pushed forward and the building contents are concentrated against the windows. The debris here looks to be a mixture of the construction trailer and other small pieces.

Time: Approximately 11:30

Photographer: Jim Garamone - American Forces Press Service

DESCRIPTION: The estimated path of fire spread. DCFD Truck 10 is just taking its position at approximately 11:30 according to a firefighter from the apparatus. They had been called in to fight the higher fires with the aerial.

KEY NOTES: Without knowing the specific barriers/openings inside the building this is somewhat of a logical guess. If you follow the arrows and look at the burned and unburned areas of the facade you can see the general path of the fire. This is also a good view to see that there was no damage to the grass from an aircraft.
