The flames lick out from the 81st floor, and punch holes--bam-bam-bam--in the fabric of the building as the pressure breaks open huge wounds in the glass skin of the building and huge windows pop in series. Later, as the fire becomes white hot, the spectral beauty of the scene increases, as down below...
