It's made of iron.

What part of it can burn?

If I recall correctly, the observation deck has some wood and other flamable materals.

Oh no! Since 9/11, I always get that sinking feeling that it's terrorism on top of just whatever else it could be.

Me too, Mare.

It's sad, but I guess that's the reality of the world we live in post-9/11
