I remember when they were building the ATC tower and a welder set fire to some wooden shuttering. .about halfway up. The flames were even more spectacular than those seen when Europe's biggest BURGER KING caught fire in SPL last year. Burning debris fell into the carpark at the bottom of the car and destroyed a few cars. . .At one time the airport authorities thought they might have to demolish the tower and start again but it did pass a structural examine and is happily in use today.
