This building was burn so bad that you can actually see a gulf of smoke rising to the sky. Also it took this fire over a day to burn itself out and still the building metal frame held up. Surprising? It took about an 1hr and 30 minutes for the world trade center to collapse from "extreme" blaze, but let alone, this building never collapse. I find that to be evidence that the world trade center was blown up and the planes sent into the building was just to throw people off. It was a systematic thing to cause the WTC to collapse so the government could pass laws that will impede on the american citizen's freedoms.

Windsor building to be demolished
Spain Herald
Madrid's fire and police departments successfully prevented any loss of life in the spectacular fire which engulfed a downtown skyscraper Saturday. Most of the building's offices were used by Deloitte and Touche, one of Spain's largest auditing firms. Company sources state that its databases have not been destroyed due to computer backup. Demolition is expected to take six months. The Windsor building was constructed 32 years ago and is 106 meters tall.
Madrid mayor Alberto Ruiz Gallardon announced Monday that the Windsor building, destroyed by fire last weekend, will be demolished since it suffered irreversible structural damage. The fire completely destroyed the building's facade. Only the interior concrete structure resisted the flames, and according to specialists it is unstable. The demolition will have to be carried out slowly in order not to endanger surrounding buildings, which include several corporate headquarters and an El Corte Ingles department store.
The day after the catastrophic fire in Madrid's financial center saw intense traffic backups at the entrances to downtown, especially in the Moncloa and Chamberi districts. Security concerns forced the closing of several streets, three Metro lines, and the commuter rail line which passes near the site. On Monday, Madrilenos put up with more traffic and crowds than usual, but calm gradually ensued.
Political and economic effects
The Windsor fire has important economic repercussions. The building, valued at 84.2 million euros (about 110 million dollars) is a total write-off. The Reyzabal family, the building's owners, stated that they have already contacted their insurer, Allianz, in order to begin the settlement process. In addition, the Reyzabals' loss of rent is calculated at 12 million euros.
The fire has also affected the Spanish political scene. Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero called for a safety revision of Madrid's skyscrapers by the municipal government. Regional prime minister Esperanza Aguirre has already begun work on an anti-fire plan for the region's buildings of more than ten stories, which are often difficult for firefighters to reach.
American firm Deloitte worst affected
The auditing firm Deloitte & Touche suffered the most fire damage, since its offices were completely destroyed. Deloitte has temporarily moved its headquarters to the Torre Picasso skyscraper, only a hundred meters away. Some departments are returning to the very same offices they occupied for years. They will remain there until a site that can house all the company's departments and the more than one thousand workers is found.

And I suppose having a 200 foot aircraft flying into the side of the WTC at 400+ knots had nothing to do with its collapse. Was this Madrid building hit by an aircraft, or do you think this Spanish government just didn't think about blowing it up.
