In the photo below it's the building to the right with the flag. To the left you see the Woolworth Building. Deutsche Bank has been wearing a shroud since the Towers fell. No photos of the fire but it looks fierce, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1615083">has been burning for hours.

Seriously, I hope no one is hurt. A major NY district is an awful place for a fire.

Fire at former Deutsche Bank building; 2 firefighters critical

NEW YORK - A five-alarm fire in the abandoned Deutsche Bank skyscraper sent a plume of gray smoke trailing above ground zero Saturday afternoon as firetrucks and police cars raced through lower Manhattan to reach a building already decimated by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Two firefighters were critically injured while trying to reach the fire, which began about a dozen floors up in the tower left vacant since Sept. 11 turned it into a toxic nightmare, fire officials said.

One firefighter suffered cardiac arrest and another smoke inhalation. A third suffered minor injuries to an ankle, fire officials at the scene said.
