More than 20 firefighters dead in Tehran building collapse - Leah Nowell - 8th

1/21/17

More than 20 firefighters were killed in Tehran on Thursday when a multi-story building collapsed as they were battling a blaze. Earlier Thursday, Tehran's fire department spokesman Jalal Maleki told IRINN an estimated 20 to 30 firefighters were on the third floor of the high-rise Plasco building when it collapsed. Maleki also told a local journalist at the scene that 35 firefighters were missing and that rescue workers were trying to dig them out. Official news agency IRNA cited the head of Tehran Emergency Services as saying 70 people had been injured in the fire.

This could synthesize to an event like 9/11. I had not heard about this before reading this article .
