Did you spot the typo on the second line? When I saw this on TV, I said "September 11th all over again, any minute the fucking thing will collapse."… And we all just started laughing until the topic on TV changed to the unbelievably trivial details on Michael Jackson's death. Then we turned it off.

What is this spelling error of which you speak? “storey”? It's British.
