Moscow's Federation Tower, designed to be the tallest building in Europe, has caught fire in Moscow's business center. As firefighters try to put out the flames on the top floors, the danger the incomplete building might collapse is growing every minute.

Still at least they could rebuild it to boost GDP.

MOSCOW -- Firefighting helicopters are trying to put out a spectacular blaze atop an under-construction Moscow skyscraper, planned to be Europe's tallest building.

Orange flames were leaping about 250 meters (880 feet) Monday, visible in the night sky to much of the city.

No injuries have been reported at the fire in the eastern tower of the Federation Tower complex, part of a massive development along the Moscow River about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) west of the Kremlin.

Who's financing the tower?

No doubt someone will be Putin it out soon.

Nonsense it won't fall down!!

Buildings don't fall down just because they catch fire!!

Hmmm

Fire ... tall buildings ... collapse ... on an internet forum

You don't need psychic abilities to see where this one is going

Until the BBC reports the building has fallen down twenty minutes before it actually falls down I'm not having any of it

Even worse, the BBC isn't reporting it at all. Information blackout!!!

Fire and Collapse, Faculty of Architecture Building, Delft University of Technology: Data Collection and Preliminary Analyses

Quote

ABSTRACT
On the morning of May 13, 2008, a fire that started in a coffee vending machine on the 6th floor of the 13-story Faculty of Architecture Building at the Delft University of Technology (TUD), Delft, the Netherlands, quickly developed into an extreme loading event. Although all building occupants evacuated safely, the rapid fire spread severely impacted fire department operations, allowing the fire to burn uncontrolled for several hours, eventually resulting in the structural collapse of a major portion of the building. With the fire continuing to burn after collapse, damage was ultimately significant enough that the building had to be demolished. Collecting and archiving data from this fire is extremely important because structural collapse of high-rise buildings due to fire has historically been quite rare. There are several reasons for this, from the overall infrequency of fire ignition in high-rise buildings, to the combination of structural fire resistance of the frame, fire-rated compartment barriers, automatic fire suppression systems, and fire department suppression activities generally associated with the fire protection strategy for high-rise buildings. This event offers a unique opportunity to study the performance of a codecompliant
high-rise building in a major fire wherein the outcome was different than might typically be expected. In order to facilitate analyses of this event, researchers in the United States, under a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) from the National Science Foundation (NSF award 0840601), teamed up with researchers from TNO and Efectis in the Netherlands, along with Prof. Kees van Weeren of the TUD Faculty of Architecture, to collect data on the fire and collapse. A summary of data collected and outcomes of preliminary analyses are presented.

Rare but it's not impossible.

Yes but that was a coffee vending machine and everyone knows those are demonic abominations.

How long before the first photo of a bare chested Putin walking out through the flames carrying an elderly babushka?

Coffee vending machines - and all who use them - are tools of the NWO. True.

It's in Russia so it was probably the vodka vending machine. That building is toast.
