Marysville motel owner Christine Adams says that the only warning was a red glow in the sky. "We sent the guests packing and put a few things in the car and then we saw the flames. It was like a huge fireball that came over the hill. It was moving very fast and we grabbed a few more things and headed out of town in a convoy," says Adams whose hotel burned to the ground...

Near a road they found the body of a man who appeared to have crashed his Harley Davidson motorcycle and then died as he tried to outrun the flames.

...news reports that she was in rather robust physical shape. "Come to Udine to take full account, in person and in private, of my daughter's real condition." It was a final reminder of at least one difference from the Schiavo case: no pictures of Englaro taken after her car accident 17 years ago had ever been circulated, forever preserving for the public the image of a vibrant young woman in the prime of her life...
