I think there is a lot of weather/radio/other equipment up there which is probably what's on fire.
 

I hope it's just something small not terrorist BS. They did say a while back that they wanted to fly a plane in the the Eiffel Tower. If it was I will take back everything I have said about France recently and back the French 100%.

The radio and television part of the tower is probably to blame. I would imagine the transmitter also has something to do with it.

WTF, french-bashing hypocrite. Have the courage of your convictions.

The character of a people does not change because they have endured a terrorist act.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I would rather befriend a bunch of snobs than a bunch of murderous cave-dwellers. Call me a hypocrite all day long, I don't care.

Hope it isn't anything too serious.
