HOUSTON (AP) - Police in Houston have been searching the rubble
of a demolished hotel for any sign that someone may have been in
the building when it was imploded.
Police say an amateur video appeared to show a figure inside the
13-story Crowne Plaza Hotel seconds before the implosion.
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 the demolition company say all their workers are
accounted for, and say they searched the building twice before the
implosion.
