Fears that World Trade Centre is on FIRE as 'smoke' billows from top of building

By
NEW Yorkers feared that the World Trade Centre was on fire after what appeared to be smoke billowed from the top of the building.

 One World Trade Centre cloud

Twitter user Jamie Slade shared an image of the strange cloud at the top of the tower, writing: "Is the World Trade Centre on fire?"
And Nick Orlando told his followers: "Fire on top of the Freedom Tower [the tower's old name] right now."
But fire officials played down the fears, tweeting: "We can confirm that there is no fire to report at the WTC."
The cloud was reportedly caused by a steam release as part of routine maintenance, but this has not been confirmed.
A construction supervisor on the scene told a local newspaper: "It's lit up by the tower lights.
"It happens with fog and even clouds. It just looks like smoke."

Organisational flaws: World T20 problems mount for India

By
NEW DELHI: Storm clouds were gathering Thursday over cricket's World T20, with organisers still to release tickets or confirm the venues, less than a month before the tournament begins in India. Hundreds of thousands of supporters are expected to attend the 16-team contest which begins on March 8, the first time India has hosted the world cup for the game's newest and most popular format. But with question marks over the presence of the West Indies and New Delhi yet to receive clearance to host matches, fans who need to secure flights, hotels and even visas are still unable to firm up travel plans.
