2/20/2005: Madrid building fire

Undertoad · 02-20-2005, 10:27 AM

Last Sunday one of Madrid's largest buildings suffered a huge and amazing fire and was destroyed. The images from it are remarkable.

Lurker mundofer, who was also the first to suggest some images from the terrorist attack there last year, suggested a set from this event. (Thank you!) Luckily, there were NO fatalities in this fire, and it was not a terrorist event, just a simple short circuit.

Several very striking photo albums here, here,
here and here.

Mundofer also notes: "Though the fire ran from top to bottom, the cement core didn't went down and they must destroy it in a step by step process. They cant do it with a controlled explosion because there are three metro lines and one train line in the underground and the falling of the building would destroy them."
