Add a few thousand gallons of jet fuel and she would have come down for sure!

Re: Windsor Tower in Madrid

first I have heard of this. Any idea of injuries or deaths?<br /><br />Very bad for Spain!

No one hurt. My office is only a few block from there (Quatro Cominos) and I see it every day.<br /><br />It's an office building and it burned on a weekend when it was unoccupied. It sits above a major subway station and its danger of collapse has had that metro stop closed for a couple of weeks now.<br /><br />Madrid is in the running to host the next olympics so they intend to pull down the building that is marring the skyline.<br /><br />Interesting that the building is owned by one family that rented all of the office suites. Mega wealth. Looks like arson and who knows if the investigation will clearly prove it.

great that no lives lost Warhorse. I've heard the term "Jewish Lightning" used in place of "arson" here in the US. LOL
