High rise fire in Chicago

It was on Countdown just now. Can't find a link to put it on LBN. It's in a 45 story building and reports of people needing help to get out.

Edit to add a link:

http://www.nbc5.com/news/3976109/detail.html?z=dp&dpswid=2265994&dppid=65193

"The building is the LaSalle National Bank Building, which is a 45-story building built in 1934 -- before sprinklers were required on every floor in high-rises.

There are reports of people inside the building. Witnesses have said people are waving their hands out windows, and flames could be seen coming out of at least five windows.

The Chicago 911 center told NBC5 is has reports of people on the 26th, 27th, 30th and 34th floors."

""The announcement said the fire was on the 29th floor, and it said for us to stay still and not to move," another woman who escaped from the building said. "We decided to just leave, despite the instructions."

At least people learned from the WTC. Don't listen when they say stay put.
