Bloomin' thieves

Well some people are just brazen about their activities. Some people like to keep their activities secret from the world, while others like to flaunt it and rub it in. Last night thieves and vandals struck in downtown. In the early hours of the morning some hooligans came along and destroyed the CN Tower. They used cutting torches to take it down about halfway up and left a pall of smoke over the area and the now broken stump.
The city is distraught over this. An icon of the city and the country has been cut down in its prime. All that remains now is a bit of a stump looking like a felled tree in the city.

The council says it'll have it repaired soon though. Apparently, and this is the cities best kept secret, the whole thing is just inflatable. Emergency planning had anticipated this may happen sometime so they'd stored a spare in a warehouse in an undisclosed location. Authorities insist that it'll be back to normal in a couple of days, and the world won't notice it was gone. They just need a few people to help inflate it, and foot pumps have been handed out to the populace.

Well better go, the police have just turned up to tell our floor that it is our turn to blow into the nozzles to help in the effort. I'll speak again.
