[hiegtx]

There has been a significant explosion at the Sandman Hotel in Downtown Fort Worth. That is an older building, possibly 100 years or more, with over 200 rooms.

Eleven injuries have been reported so far.
Crews are searching for other victims. A lot of debris has landed in the street. Hearing some traffic, related to this incident, on Law Interop 3, TGID 5505, on NTIRN.
I am out of range to pick up Fort Worth file, and the Fort Worth layers 1 & 2.

What motel was this before it was the Sandman?

I used to live in DFW metro and can't think of which one it was.
