cctv tower beijing

You are so idiotic, do you think they would waste frikin 800 million dollars to build a structure that'll just fall down in the event of an earthquake??! "Nobody ever cared"??! Do u know how many times they have tested it on computer and live using a model to make sure it can stand all natrual diasters??! Don't post stupid comments like this, and get some actual facts/knowledge before u talk.

No,it's not the CCTV building on fire,it's the hotel called wenhua neal the CCTV.Please see the vedio clearly.The hotel is only belong to the CCTV.But all new say CCTV was on fire.

yes, that's right. the CCTV is the large building, the TVCC, the one that was on fire, is the smaller anex to the north. it is a cultural center which belongs to CCTV and a 'mandarin hotel'.

and now its all gone...

fortunately, not 'all'.... but i liked the tvcc even better than i like the cctv.....

something 'strange' about building. unstable structure.

just because it looks intuitively unstable to you doesn't mean it is.

Are u kidding??!!!!!! Do u think they would build a building like this if it was unstable??!!!! They have tested it, and this building can withstand earthquakes up to 9.5 on the Richard scale.

buddy your obviously not a structural engineer, if you said that

And soon there is just ashes left...
