Why so much hype over this fire? It seems limited to a single floor and perhaps 1 or 2 offices.

Any high-rise fire is going to get attention, first because of controversy over the ability to fight such fires, and second because of 9/11. This would have been big news even without fears of terrorism.

Well, it's in a major metropolitan American city.
It is continuing to spread, on a single floor.
Chicago had a high rise fire just over a year ago, major SNAFU with the Fire Dept and poor communications and some 6 or 9 people wound up dying because they were told to stay put..

With a screen name like yours, you should be pretty versed on the newsworthiness of fires. ;-)
