see the people at the bottom?
i would have to use the eyedrop tool to bring out their jackets more right?

Try Shadows?

What exactly do you need to do to the pic? I got a few minutes.

plus if you wanted to spend some more time, you could darken the sky down a little bit, make the smoke a little darker, and pull the center of interest a little more toward the center of the picture as result.

The front of the building is pretty badly overexposed, and there really isn't much to do as a result.
