My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
I was at the Borgata this weekend down in Atlantic City. They are building a new tower, right next to the existing one. I was on the 27th floor and was directly facing the new tower. I woke up to sounds and sirens, looked out my window and saw this. Pretty crazy!

If you look at the first clip, you can see a shot of the current tower and its proximity to the new tower. Our rooms was literally facing the side where the inferno took place. Was nuts! I thought the whole building was on fire.

...and they're saying only "superficial damage." They're lucky the wind was blowing the fire on the scaffolding away from the new building.
