2003: At least six people were killed and at least seven others were in serious or critical condition following a fire that swept through the 12th floor of a Loop high-rise filled with government offices late in the afternoon, choking the upper floors of the 35-story building with smoke. The blaze forced evacuation of the Cook County Administration Building at 69 W. Washington St. Though owned by the county, the structure housed 2,500 workers of county, city and state agencies.
