Fire nearly destroyes the new tower at Amsterdam

Spotting at Amsterdam's runway 06/24 (when one could still reach 01R/19L) there was a sudden puff of smoke from the new tower,
then under construction. With lots of expanding going on, especialy on the west-terminal, a new tower had to be erected. While I was there,
something went wrong. I do not remember the exact date, please e-mail me if you do.

Construction workers evacuted by a large crane

Fire looking minimal at this time

Smoke curtain over the airport

Suddenly fiercely burning the scaffolding

Raging on inside the construction, see the flames at the left, close to the top

Air traffic was never affected
