architecture

My friend Robert was preparing his camera when I came to SB office today. Seeing me, he invited me to join his mission, taking a picture. Wait, what happened? There were 3 buildings on a fire this morning near the office. They were knoxville's heritage buildings so Robert wanted to take some documentaries. We walk there on windy & chilly Wednesday morning and Robert said, "This would be great in the picture". Ok, let me report my scenery this morning (I like to do this. Many psychologist like to give a picture and ask "what do you see there" to analyze people character) .
1. We saw a big chunk dark gray smoke from a distant.
2. Many television reporters rushed to go there to crave the news.
One reporter lady with red coat was preparing herself to report the news. (When you saw her on the news, maybe you could see me on the background haha...)
3. Those brick buildings looked terrible. We saw 2 buildings that leaned toward each other and the building in the middle had collapsed. That made me thinking. When there's a riot in 1998 in Indonesia, several building were burnt but still stand and can be used after structural re-inspection.
4. From that space in the middle, we could see the structure that used to support the middle building. There's a big long steel second floor joist that hung down twisted vertically from it's joint. It reminded me of my building structure class that steel is so strong but can't resist fire. It melts. That reminds me about us as a human. Although we feel we are very strong, there always exists someone stronger than we are.
5. Fire fighter were so busy doing their duty. Water came from firetrucks to the building like a fountain. Sadly, 3 or more firefighters were injured.
6. Many people came to take pictures (like what we did. Hihiiii...). Several people brought hot coffee & did their observation in silent. Several people took a detour to their destination so they could see the scene.
7. Oh, it's important. We saw a rainbow! Yeah, it was reflected from the water vapors . It is funny to see the scarce optical phenomenon in the chaotic circumstance.

Investigators still try to find out the cause of the fire. Fortunately two of those building weren't occupied. Fire happens more in the winter. The cause are varieties. It could be careless people who forget to turn the heater off or faulty fireplace (that's why Reuben don't want to use our fireplace although I keep begging ).
