Quote:Former Deutsche Bank Building on Fire in Lower Manhattan
August 18th, 2007
It hasn't collapsed yet? The second I read about this incident, I thought:
I wonder if we're all going to get a lesson in how fire CAN cause skyscrapers to collapse...
'Look,' Fox News, et al will say about people who talk about demolition of the buildings on 9/11, "The Deutsche Bank building collapsed due to fire. God damned conspiracy theorists"
If you're in Manhattan, with a clear view of this scene, consider setting a video camera on a tripod, and focusing in on the base of the building; not the top floors. There will be lots of video of the top floors.
Also, extend your tripod so that the camera's center of gravity is higher than usual, but still stable. Turn image stabilization off. Zoomed in like this, your camera might catch any weird seismic disturbances before the building begins to fall... If it begins to fall.

"Any second that building is gonna collapse, just like the World Trade Center. Yessiree bob, that fire is gonna bring that sucker down, JUST like the World Trade Center. Any second now. Yep. Look at her burn. Any second. Any second. Gonna come right down into its own footprint. Any second.... Wanna go get a beer?"
