A historic high-rise in the heart of Tehran caught fire and collapsed Thursday in a giant cloud of smoke, killing dozens of firefighters who were battling the blaze, Iranian news media reported.

 

At least 50 firefighters were killed in the collapse of the 17-story Plasco building, a symbol of modernity that was constructed in the early 1960s, the official IRNA news agency said.
