    I saw some postings about it last night; I was surprised how many people still had access to the parking garage while it was going on, but I guess that's part of the problem with having so many cars parked so close together. In a way, I'm surprised that issues like this aren't more commonplace there

    I was also thinking about how terrible it would feel to spend a long exhausting day in the parks, only to return to a burnt-up husk of a car when you're trying to get home. Obviously the situation would be out of your control either way, but that just seems like adding insult to injury

    Glad to hear there weren't any serious injuries. Hopefully the structural damage was minimal, but I assume that will take longer to determine

    The morning new reports are saying that it looks to be an accident that the first car caught fire and caused the other burn in a chain reaction. As for the structure they will be looking at it today to see how bad the damage is.

    Parking is going to be a real problem this week.

    Those who lost their cars were still required to pay the $20 parking fee.

    I can't even imagine being on the way back to my car, after a day at Disneyland, and witnessing that.

    Good thing that the entire steel and concrete mammoth structure built with multiple redundant high stress supports didn't collapse upon itself in a near perfectly straight downward drop at the speed of gravity based on superficial and isolated fires

    9/11 conspiracy theory huh?

    No,
    No conspiracy nonsense around here. You see I learned 15 years ago that very substantial high grade steel and stress tested commercial grade concrete laden structures built to rigorous building codes tend to collapse perfectly on their own footprint at a speed without resistance("free fall") due to isolated and small fires.

    All I'm saying is we got lucky with this parking garage.

    A car fire isn't going to do that.

    Yes, I know that.
    I'm being facetious at the absurd "explanation" the gov't gave us for Manhattan building #7
