I bet it is an insurance scam. I'm quite curious as to why this got so much play in the news. I am not trying to sound ignorant, however, it seems a building fire in a large city isn't something that is usually news worthy on a global scale. I mean, here in Phoenix there was a fire at a junk yard that was fairly large. And the only people covering it were local news outlets. Does anyone know why this got so much play?

I'm willing to bet that a fire at a junk yard isn't going to have anywhere near the fatalities that a high rise building has. So that's my guess.

That's a very good point. But yeah, like I said; I hope I'm making sense.
