Former Deutsche Bank tower up in flames
2007 August 19
There was a 7-alarm fire at the former Deutsche Bank in downtown Manhattan (near the former World Trade Center towers) on Saturday, August 18, 2007. Two firefighters were killed battling the blaze.
The Deutsche Bank was one of the buildings severely damaged by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
I was just looking at the New York Times slideshow of the construction workers de-constructing the Deutsche Bank tower for demolition yesterday (read the NYT article here). How timely now that the building should go up in flames.
