Blaze hits Russian skyscraper

Huge flames danced for hours on the top floors of an under-construction Moscow skyscraper.
Russian news reports said the fire engulfed some 300 square meters (3200 square feet) at its height. It hit multiple floors, reportedly the 65th to 67th. Firefighters were forced to climb stairs to reach the blaze because elevators are not yet in service, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.
