“The hotel’s basically filled — it’s the Arkansas Travelers and USF,” said Russell Leach, a USF political science student from St. Petersburg, Fla. “My room is right underneath where the fire is. They’re probably throwing thousands of gallons of water into my suitcase.”
When the fire broke out, Leach said he was in one of the hotel’s meeting rooms, talking with other students and Dante Scala, the University of New Hampshire politics professor. He hoped his belongings would be all right, and said it would likely be difficult to find another room if the hotel didn’t reopen.
Still, he was able to find humor in the situation.
“There were rumors it was started by one of the people from the Edwards campaign,” joked Leach, who supports U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
