The EAST side of the building, according to WLS TV is showing the flames from the windows...the west and other sides just have smoke coming out the windows.
No sign of fire fighters in the floor below, the lights are still on in the windows in the floor below...nothing like smoke etc. from burning thru.
More to come...
Sirens and fire alarms were sounded in the building.
People exited down the stairs.
Announcements over loudspeakers told people to HOLD where they were at the time.
The lady speaking said they CHOSE to IGNORE and kept going down the stairs...they went to the Adams side of the building but the DOORS WERE LOCKED because it was after working hours...!!!
From NBC WMAQ TV 5 interview...
