A fire broke out in a 6-story Chinatown tenement at 22 James Street around 3:47 a.m. this morning. The fire apparently started on the 4th floor, but spread to the 3rd. CityRoom reports that a man was found dead inside and a woman who may have jumped from the building is critically injured; there are at least 20 others injured and the building's other residents, dozens of adults and children, are currently homeless. WCBS 2 says the fire department, which rescued some tenants from fire escapes, had a tough time fighting the blaze due to the high winds.

That was some of the most useless reporting I've seen in a while. Interviewing bystanders just so they can say they don't know anything and they came to see the fire? Give me a break. They have nothing to do with the story. What a sad state of television "journalism."
