19-01-2017 09:51 AM


Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Iran's oldest high-rise, the 15-storey Plasco building in downtown Tehran, collapsed live on TV on Thursday after a fire engulfed its top floors.

The building, dating from the early 1960s and including a shopping centre and clothing workshops, had been evacuated, but firefighters were battling the blaze inside and it was not immediately clear if there were casualties.

Local media had earlier reported 30 people injured by the initial fire, before the building crumbled.
