Firefighters put out blaze at One WTC

A fire broke out on the 86th floor of the still-under-construction One World Trade Center Saturday, June 2, 2012.

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Firefighters responded to the 89th floor of One World Trade Center on Saturday morning to help construction workers put out a small fire in some wooden decking.

CBS Station WCBS reports the Fire Department got the call for help at 7:15 a.m.

Workers at the unfinished tower extinguished most of the burning wood themselves, but firefighters were still on the scene wetting down the area an hour later.

The floor has been charred by the flames, and smoke could be seen for miles, the FDNY said.

Construction has been halted at the site until the FDNY figures out what caused the blaze.

The skyscraper is already more than 1,200 feet high, with a few hundred feet more to go until it reaches its full height.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama will visit the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City on June 14, where he will get a briefing on the progress of construction on One World Trade Center.

The tower, previously known as Freedom Tower, has surpassed the Empire State Building as New York's tallest skyscraper.

Quick actions by the dauntless One WTC construction crew and the brave FDNY cooled the wood fire quickly.Fire safety will be a higher priority on Monday! But the lasting memories and ill willed reasons for two fires in that hallowed location will never cool down.

That fact took place three blocks West of this pc! Noted above is our company logo found three blocks back East. "When God winks" is a great little book by SQuire Rushnell. You may have it on your book shelves.

If we had not responded by going to war and taking proactive steps towards better national security, the terrorist wouldn't have stopped destroying buildings and killing thousands of people. You make America and Bush sound like the bad guys when terrorist are trying to kill even more Americans right now. We also won in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war prevented even more terrorist attacks so you can't say that more lives were lost in war than in terrorist attacks because war prevented terrorist attacks and saved the lives of an innumerable amount of civilians. Obviously you aren't a very logical thinker. Your making what American soldiers did for their country seem worthless when in fact it was the most invaluable things they could of done with their life.

12 years later and we still have not got a replacement built. At least we lost the two "wars" we spent 3 trillion dollars on. We were also able to kill twice as many great American Soldiers compared to civilian losses on 9/11. Who can we blame this on? Bush? No. I blame the people who voted for him and for the lazy as non voters who run their mouths the most but can't be bothered to vote. That would be most of you!

Define "lost", explain where the 3T number came from, explain how a voter can "kill" a volunteer American military. Maybe the blame lies with those who make us reliant upon middle eastern oil because of their idiotic fear of developing our own natural resources. Maybe the blame lies with those who did not support proactive efforts to thwart terrorists for fear of offending the sensibilities of the politically correct.
