No, and that is the point. Something like the plane fell to the ground after hitting the building...the apartment was
burning...

I also like the way the fire is perpetually burning on CNN. One account said the fire was out in 20 minutes, but the
coverage showed it burning constantly. You could see the water coming out of the windows and the white steam, and then
they would cut away and begin the loop again...
