and the fire in the library of congress today
was mechanical... for those few who saw the story today.

Library of Congress building gets all-clear
By Ben Pershing and Paul Duggan
Update, 5:35 p.m.: Jennifer Gavin, a Library of Congress spokeswoman, says the Madison Building was declared safe to reoccupy at 4:48 p.m. The cause of the smoke and a burning odor was determined to be a mechanical failure that sent smoke into the ventilation system, she said.

Original post: The Madison Building of the Library of Congress was partially evacuated Wednesday afternoon after smoke was spotted in the building and a fire alarm was triggered

2. When it first broke my thinking was
that it was probably nothing, but given the current environment nothing can be discounted.
