53 people have been killed and scores injured in a skyscraper inferno in Shanghai. The 30 storey building was under renovation when fire broke out in scaffolding. It quickly spread to the building itself. Some people jumped from the windows of the high-rise to escape. Dozens of fire engines have been battling the blaze.

  • the muslim terrorists will burn fire the chinese up..

  • COOL

    

  • Now *THAT* is a skyscraper FIRE. The fires in WTC 1,2 and 7 were nothing in comparison. And did *this* building collapse neatly into its own footprint at free fall acceleration? Hell, no... of course it didn't... steel and concrete buildings no NOT collapse on account of fire.

  • @7600692 you are one crazy motherfucker

  • @7600692 : u dumb ass. U should know that bcz the aircraft fuel generated incredible hot fire that could smelt down anything.

    Some Chinese buildings did not have to be turned into a torch to be collapse lol. How good quality of their buildings are.

  • @7600692 A plane into a skyscraper and a fire are two different things.

  • according to 9/11 logic it should have burned for 7 hours, (maybe 8 because it did not have damage) before collapsing upon itself

  • @bombarderoazul Because it was built by foreign architect, engineers and supervision. China only provide workers and suppliers on the site yet has little knowledge on the blueprint of the building. Another inferior goods on the site was fireworks. If it wasn't those stupid firework show, the building would schedule for grand opening. Now it is left charred yet little repair works to be seen on site.
