Um, any sources for the tenant list? I find it hard to believe that this office/shopping center had 8 full-size - and American! - department stores. None of the links reference any of the listed department store tenants - they mostly mention international firms with offices in the building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.113.141.74 (talk) 21:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, this article seems cut and pasted form a newspaper story. I woudl guess that there are copyright issues on this. Also, it states that it is one of the worst disasters ever. Uhhmmm, I would quite disagree. Not even considering air and train crashes, there have been far more deadly accidents. I woudl suggest this article needs a full rewrite. D.
