FNC reporting it took fire engines TWO HOURS to arrive.
... WHAT?!
A Turkish language media outlet is reporting, FWIW, that French authorities are saying the fire cannot be extinguished.
I think it was more like a hour. The crowds supposedly got in the way, which sounds like BS to me. Now the fire fighters are saying they were there at the start, helping the people in the building get out of it. Apparently a river runs right through the complex, ironically.
