La Tour Eiffel en feu

An upper floor of the Eiffel Tower caught fire earlier today, apparently due to a short circuit in the electrical control room. It was put out before anyone was hurt, and the tower is currently closed while the fire department investigates further. A recent project to install thousands of lights on the tower may be the culprit.
