On behalf of our country & in spite of our potus - Condolences to the victims family and friends.
Someone died.Instead of commenting on your building, which if it had sprinklers might have saved that life,
perhaps condolences to the family?
1 Dead, 6 Injured, After Fire Erupts on 50th Floor of Trump Tower: Authorities
President Donald Trump tweeted: "Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!"
Trump Tower fire: Victim identified as Todd Brassner
?quality=90&strip=all&w=618&h=410&crop=1
New York City police identified the victim in Saturday's deadly fire at Trump Tower as Todd Brassner, 67. He lived on the 50th floor of the 58-story building.
According to a bankruptcy filing from 2016, Brassner was an art collector and dealer. He suffered from "debilitating medical problems that have made it difficult for him to function," according to the court records.
The cause of the fire is unclear.
"The apartment was virtually entirely on fire. They pushed in heroically, they were knocking down the fire, they found one occupant of the apartment on the 50th floor," Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said.

loved ones and to all those who were injured in the High Rise Fire.
How horrible for them all.. I can't believe there was no sprinkler system. Fires can start and get out of control at anytime.. Buildings need a back up plan.
A smart owner would install them even if it weren't the law at that time. Especially since there was already a Fire there not too long ago.
I wonder how it did start?
