Madrid alert after skyscraper fire

MADRID, Spain -- The area surrounding a burned-out Madrid skyscraper remained cordoned off Monday amid concern the blackened hulk of wreckage could collapse.
As many as 100 firefighters worked 24 hours to extinguish the blaze in the city's eighth-tallest building, the 32-story Windsor Tower. The fire was said to be the worst in Madrid's history.
"Don't Fall Down," read Monday's front-page headline on the free newspaper Que given to morning subway and bus commuters.
The office tower was heavily damaged but did not collapse as feared.
The Windsor Tower in Madrid burned for over 24 hours,
but the steel frame did not give way, because steel's
melting temperature is much hotter than a building fire
Professor Put on Leave Over 9-11 Claim

PROVO, Utah (AP) - A professor who has suggested the World Trade Center was brought down by explosives has been placed on paid leave by Brigham Young University while the Mormon church-owned school investigates his claims.
...
His work focuses on the relatively narrow question of whether molten metal present at the World Trade Center site after the attacks is evidence that a high-temperature incendiary called thermite, which can be used to weld or cut metal, was involved in the twin towers' destruction.
He concludes thermite was present, suggesting someone might have used explosives to bring down the skyscrapers.
