China's towering inferno From Monday

Do not think that I would stay there, pretty compbustable construction material, I guess the sprinklers were not in working order, and I wonder if they had a permit for the fireworks display?

Below are excerpts from AFP:
A huge blaze sparked by fireworks engulfed a hotel late Monday in the unfinished headquarters of Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, one of the icons of Beijing's architectural rebirth, state media said.The blaze consumed the Mandarin Oriental Hotel due to open later this year within the complex housing the future headquarters of China Central Television, the country's state television broadcaster, Xinhua news agency said.
