CCTV building is on fire in China Beijing 2009-2-9
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- A massive fire engulfed a newly constructed, unoccupied luxury hotel in central Beijing on Monday night.
The cause of the blaze at the 40-story Mandarin Oriental is not known, and there were no reports of injuries, according to CNN staff members who were at the scene. The fire began at about 9 p.m. (8 a.m. ET) and continued to burn an hour later.

CNN's Beijing Bureau Chief Jaime FlorCruz said he was on one side of the hotel, but, "It seems like virtually the whole building is burned."

Fire crews are on the scene and appeared to have control of the fire.

CNN Correspondent Emily Chang said the fire reached up past the 30th floor, but did not appear to be spreading to any of the nearby buildings.

The hotel is next to a newly constructed tower for China Central Television (CCTV), but no one has moved into that building either.
It happened in the final hours of the Chinese lunar new year as people set off fireworks across the city.
The modern, angular building was a sign of Beijing's recent transformation and modernization. It had been scheduled to open late last year, but that was postponed until this year, although most of the building had been constructed.

According to its Web site, the Mandarin Oriental-Beijing is the flagship property in China for the Mandarin Oriental hotel chain.

@IExposeMormonism the truth is that chinese engineers are not retarded enough to put a bunch of column that collapse at the same time resulting in a systemic collapse of the whole building

SUPERIOR CHINESE ENGINEERING FTW

We are such idiots. Look at this and look at the WTC/911. Now, does the 911 story sound like a smart explanation? Is that something Einstein would believe? Well, don't feel bad, he may have, many bright people believed what we were told on the TV set but things are changing now, it's time to wake up. The truth was always obvious.
