On Tuesday, social media users in New York tweeted pictures of the One World Trade Center that appeared to show flames coming out of the building.
I'm looking at One World Trade Center from my roof in Brooklyn and I CAN'T say definitively there is a fire.
The New York Fire Department then responded that the so-called Freedom Tower was not, in fact, on fire.
We can confirm that there is no fire to report at the WTC https://t.co/FYhvxuh5j8
But the cause of the optical illusion was not immediately clear. Some speculated that it could be the product of water evaporating on the building's powerful lights.
Uhhh so is what is this RT @FDNY: We can confirm that there is no fire to report at the WTC
