The point though is that it is newsworthy. A fire this severe hasn't happened in forever.
Some people see this and think a big city with highrises is unsafe to live in, but even including this disaster, the statistics say the opposite.
Not to mention that we have sooo many fewer traffic deaths than e.g. the US or even Sweden. Cars on Swedish roads kill about twice this amount of people every year, while this tower fire was a once in several decades occurrence.
