I think it's actually the building to the left of this one. There's three, all of which are nearly identical. You can see on the video of when they're extinguishing the fire.

Not that it matters of course.

The one news story I noticed was of the tenant, a fellow of around 30-35 years old, who left his unit and drove down the street to buy some 'Hot Pockets' (Processed pastries), returning home 20 minutes later to find his apartment in a heap of flames. Just chance.

Initially, seeing the weather and the approach, it was easy to dismiss this one as pilot error - getting a sneak peak below minimums. But upon seeing the video, it seems there might be more to it. No FDR, but a poor quality CVR. I hope if it was mechanical, that the pilots can be vindicated. An unfortunate set of circumstances nevertheless.
