I saw some interesting video of this on one of the Houston news sites, of course I can't find it now because all TV news web sites suck but still, an interesting story:
A video given to police appears to show a figure inside the Crowne Plaza Hotel moments before it was imploded last week, officials said.

The video, police said, is very short and inconclusive, but appears to capture what may be a figure running on one of the upper floors just before the explosion and seconds before the structure collapsed.

"It seems to show movement just prior to the implosion," said Sgt. Nate McDuell, a Houston Police Department spokesman. "But that hasn't been confirmed to be human."
First of all, I can't believe the demolition wasn't more widely publicized. I'd have gone to see it. Secondly, is it the wind blowing the door shut? Who knows, but that's gotta be one of the least publicized forms of suicide: sneaking into a imminently imploding building.
