The Hill reports that the hacker collective Anonymous says the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is planning to launch attacks in the U.S., Paris, Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon on Sunday.

IIRC, this is not the first time there was a fire in that building.

The view of Lake Michigan in summer from the viewing deck atop the Hancock tower is beautiful, it’s such a surprisingly intense aqua blue.

Attacking an empty building on a Saturday sounds like a waste of time to me.

Huge building. I’d assume fires are not exactly surprising.
That it’s in one corner seems innocuous. A whole floor or multiple locations would be more suspicious of deliberation.

They usually rule it out 25 years before the terrorist who did it was born, but I wonder if there are any mosques close by?

Nully's son says 'Given that the building is owned by an insurance company, it's probably just an insurance scam...'
