Google on fire?

One Broadway, which spent the late morning busily involved in flames, is where Google's Boston Tentacle (among, I imagine, lots of other businesses) is located. I just emailed best wishes to the one person I know there (I don't have his phone number or nuthn). News reports no fatalities but plenty of smoke-inhalation injuries... yuch.

Update He sez he is "a little smoky, but otherwise OK."

Sad and interesting is Wikipedia's summary of wrong media reports about the Sago mine disaster.

From that article, I just now learned for the first time what really happened. My most recent information was that 12 of the 13 miners had survived, and that the ordeal ended days ago. I thought that I had slipped into an alternate universe this afternoon when I encountered several LJ posts today talking about the exact inverse of this statement.
