TODAY'S TOP STORY
Massive Fire Forces Evacuations: An intense blaze tore through a West Kensington paper facility overnight, burgeoning to four alarms and forcing people to flee their homes in the night.
The fire started around 2:30 a.m. inside a vacant building along North American Street near York Street, officials say. It quickly spread to the American Supply Company, a paper company, and grew. The paper fueled the flames that billowed sideways from the structures. Parts of the buildings collapsed as firefighters dumped water on the structures from the outside.
One person came running from the area on fire when the first firefighters arrived at the scene, Fire Commissioner Derrick Sawyer told NBC10. They are currently hospitalized with burns on 80 percent of their body. Two firefighters also suffered minor injuries, officials said.
The fire was brought under control around 4 a.m., but crews continue to douse hot spots.

WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY
Why Gay Couple's Beating Can't Be a Hate Crime: The beating of a gay couple last Thursday in Center City Philadelphia has gotten both local and national attention.
Police initially said they were investigating the assault as a hate crime, but the district attorney's office said that's not possible because the state's hate crime law doesn't cover sexual orientation.
Investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what happened with the assault and are looking into claims by the alleged aggressors that the men started the scuffle.
Still, the omission of the LGBT community from the law has prompted one state lawmaker to make a push to change that.
AROUND THE WORLD
The United Kingdom Remains United: Scotland will remain part of the United Kingdom after the country voted whether to declare its independence after 307 years.
After the votes were tallied, 55 percent of Scots opted to stay part of the U.K. after a divisive and sometimes heated battle across the North Atlantic nation. Officials say more than 84 percent of those registered to vote turned out for this referendum.
Independence supporters pushed to have Scotland go its own after feeling neglected by the union. But after major advertising campaigns and stumping by both sides, citizens decided to continue on as normal.

iPhone 6 Arrives: Apple's latest iteration of the popular smartphone goes on sale today. Scores of rabid Apple fanboys and fangirls can be found camping outside the entrances to the company's stores across the region and country.
The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were announced earlier this month. Both devices feature larger screens, better cameras and battery life and a new payment system allowing for you to use your phone as a credit card.
The devices went on pre-sale last Friday. The inventory quickly sold out in the United States and several other countries and set a one day sales record for Apple.

THROUGH IGER'S EYES
While some people may be elated to buy the iPhone 6 today, @mrchannell2 thinks all of the hoopla is ridiculous. He recorded this video showing the line of people waiting outside the Center City Apple Store along Walnut Street overnight. His take? It's just a phone, people. Calm down.
