NEW YORK (AP) -- The underground fires that have burned at the World Trade Center site for the past three months have finally been extinguished, Gov. George Pataki said Wednesday.

"Just in the last week the fires have actually been put out," Pataki told a group of about 50 elected officials during a tour of the scene.

Was holding out that we would catch bin Ladin first - darn.

I guess Rudy can rest easy now when he relinquish his duties as Mayor.

The Who:

After the fire, the fire still burns,
The heart grows cold, it never, ever learns.
Memories fade, time slips away,
after the fire...
the fire still burns...

The fires of the WTC will burn in our hearts for all time.

After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
And then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tire
And then the sound of a distant gun and the cry of a hungry child
The night is hot
But nothing's gonna stop
This gang going wild
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white there ain't no colour in memories
He rode his brother's Harley across the TV while I was laughing at Dom deLuise.
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking
I've gotta stop drinking
I've gotta stop thinking
I've gotta stop smoking
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
The fire still burns, raging through the pain
Blackening the promises the tears and the rain
The fire will burn
'Til the wind begins to turn
And it all begins again
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns

I couldn't believe it at first when I heard that the fires in the World Trade Center ruins were still burning on the 12th of December a week ago. That is amazing and sad.
