Isn't it made of iron? What's burning on it?

Tour Eiffel is made of metal. Perhaps a piece of elevator machinery has overheated - but the tower itself is non-flammable.

Over the weekend a Corsican rebel group detonated bombs in Nice, on the French Riviera.
Could it be related to this ... hmmmm

So the eco-terrorists finally figured out that it was just a big oil derrick stuck in the middle of Paris?!

Just kidding...

TV Shows Smoke Billowing from Top of Eiffel Tower

PARIS (Reuters) - French television broadcast live images of smoke billowing out of the top floor of the Eiffel Tower in the heart of Paris on Tuesday.

LCI television channel broadcast images of a trail of smoke rising into the blue sky from the top part of the famous tower. A presenter said tourists were being kept away from the edifice.

CNN is reporting that it is on fire and they are trying to run down confirmation of that.

This could potentially be very bad. On any given day there are hundreds of people in the restaurant or touring the top of the tower.

The tower itself will survive, but there could be a lot of deaths or injuries of tourists up there.
