BREAKING!!
TRUMP TOWER EMERGENCY!
PEOPLE TRAPPED!
President Donald Trump was awoken Monday morning by horrific news about his beloved New York
City home of Trump Tower.
We're getting word now that people have been trapped in the skyscraper that bears
Trump's name and is his home away from the White House, as emergency crews swarm the
building and try to get others out alive.
Until Trump moved into the White House, the 68-story high rise was home to the Trump Organization
and his family, who still maintain their penthouse residence there.
It's also one of New York's most visited and "most distinctive" attractions and
has become frequently under attack my anti-Trump tourists taking out their hate on the president
with selfies showing them flipping off the building and protesting outside it.
However, now it's become a scene of horror as the highrise became engulfed in flames
and smoke billowing out from the top of the skyscraper where Trump's penthouse is.
The Daily Mail reports:
Trump Tower caught fire on Monday morning, with emergency responders rushing to the scene
just after 7am in midtown Manhattan.
Firefighters could be seen on the roof of the building as large clouds of smoke covered
the midtown skyline, managing to put out the blaze in less than an hour.The fire was caused
by an electrical box in the HVAC system on the roof of the building according to an FDNY
spokesperson.
Members of the NYPD were also on the scene, but had left the roof along with firefighters
by 8am.
President Trump lives on the top three floors of the building, but has been in Washington
DC since he took office last January.
The building is also where Eric and Donald Jr. have their offices, and where Ivanka's
eponymous fashion company is headquartered.
The First Lady and Barron had been living in their residence at the skyscraper for the
first half of last year, but moved into the White House over the summer.
"There was a small electrical fire in a cooling tower on the roof of Trump Tower.
The New York Fire Department was here within minutes and did an incredible job," wrote
Eric on Twitter Monday morning.
"The men and women of the #FDY are true heroes and deserve our most sincere thanks
and praise!"
While the fire is now said to be under control, according to NBC News, there still remains
question and concern as to how this happened.
It was a couple of tense hours as people in the building were seen being wheeled out on
stretchers having apparently suffered minor injuries and perhaps smoke inhalation, specifically
an engineer in the building.
No residents of the highrise were evacuated, Mail Online added.LAD Bible reports:
Smoke could be seen billowing from the roof of the building, with many New Yorkers taking
to social media to share photos and videos of the tower.
It is now thought to be under control, and there have currently been no reports of fatalities
or injuries, according to NBC news.
Investigators are now looking into how the fire may have started.The skyscraper is the
headquarters of the Trump Organization, and until Trump moved into the White House in
Washington, D.C., he and his family had lived in the penthouse of the tower.
It was also the campaign nerve centre for Trump when he ran in the 2016 presidential
election, and was used to film the American version of The Apprentice, the series that
judges contestants based on their business skills.
He does still have an apartment in the building, but Trump was apparently in Washington when
the fire broke out.
The mixed-use building, which was designed by prominent architect Der Scutt, also houses
many luxury apartments and businesses.
"The first 26 floors are comprised of luxury offices, providing world class services to
Trump Tower's commercial tenants," the website says.
"Accessible through a private entrance on 56th street, the residential condominiums
comprise floors 30 through 68 and are considered one of the world's elite luxury residences,
catering to public figures, athletes, celebrities and other affluent sophisticates.
"A magnificent waterfall runs through the Atrium of Trump Tower further enhancing its
beauty, with Trump Bar and Trump Grill on its entrance and lower level.
To complement the refined tastes of our residents, the stunning new Gucci flagship store occupies
the 5th avenue corner of the building."
Interestingly enough, this terrifying fire comes less than a week after a fire was reported
at/near Hillary Clinton's upstate New York home.
It's an ironic twist in this event not suspected of being connected but seems suspicious to
some extent.
