Great story. Can someone explain why this belongs on HN?

Because some stories transcend classification and we have hearts as well as heads.

You beat me to it.

Thanks so much for posting this. I hope everyone on HN will take a breather and read this article all the way through.

This is a perfect example of a well-played pivot.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that you shouldn't read this story. I wouldn't expect a story about the latest release of Twitter Bootstrap to show up in the Wall Street Journal, though, and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that the Sports section front page doesn't include stories about a recent fire, heroic as the firefighters might be.
