I was in class in one of the Hibbs lecture halls, and we saw a bunch of students in the hallway running towards the windows facing north. My professor poked his head out and said, “Oh wow! That new building on Broad St is on fire!”

We started to get up to see and he said, “oh, don’t worry, it’ll still be on fire when class is over.” And finished the lecture. It was indeed still very much on fire when class was over 30 minutes later.

My now-husband has picture of him and his roommate watching the fire from the roof of their apartment on W Grace. Might make him pull those up if we can find the hard drive.
