Massive fire in downtown Beijing, threatens CCTV headquarters

@Rjc808: Looks like it? You must be one of those engineers that can tell everything that is happening on a building on fire by looking at a picture.

Wake up you ignorant punk.
Actually, dont wake up. You make my life entertaining.

Everything's bigger in China (not Texas), even the fires.

looks like the fire was caused by fireworks

this is breaking news btw .. just getting reports in now

@ muteddude - Sorry Dude, not a zionist. I personally think it's barbaric to set aside land anywhere in the world for any one race or religion. Period. This includes Jews, Palestinians, Native Americans, and even Liberians. Sick.

Glad for freedom of press.

What a tradgedy. I hope no one gets killed.

On a different note, it's weird that now some people are discussing the World Trade Center and admitting they "hijacked" the story, and others are insulting people because of where they stand on the Gaza Strip issue. Wasn't this about a Chinese building burning?

That building will fall when the terrorist throw their box cutters at it. Thats the only thing holding that building up.

Anyone could get a utility knife past security in 2001. We couldn't even conceive of such an evil enemy. Most airports had no metal detectors. We could buy a ticket and walk on the plane. You young stupid punks that want to spread bullshit conspiracy theories against the US were still watching Barney at the time of the attack.

In reference to all the 9 11 talk, anyone actually know how the 19 hijackers managed to get box-cutter knives past security even after the CIA apparently had prior warning that airplanes could be used in a "terrorist" plot.

Take note of which sources report this story...

The building should fall at near free-fall speed within a few hours... just like World Trade Center 1,2, and 7...

There are several investigative films about 9-11 seeking the truth.

Greanpeace set the fires and will soon announce a press conference blaming it on Global War,,,wait...I mean, CLIMATE CHANGE!

So I foind it pretty amusing that when you go to the CCTV website they have nothing about the fire. Can you say goverment controled media that won't publish anything that might look China look unfavorable!!!

Who wants to bet the building doesn't collapse?

Yeah...Not a big concern for me other than the lives of people.

LOL government biased media must BURNNNN

Funny. That building didnt collapse.
Actually, not so funny.

I know we would never hear the truth out of China, but at the first several glances that looks to be fueled by something, not just an accidental electrical fire. Bear in mind buildings like this are equipped with sprinklers and fire retardant materials. I wonder what new information will get released.

Damn thats a huge fire looks like a whole skyscraper got lit up

If that fire didn't do any damage to any people and their personal belongings, then wow what a beautiful fire. I could care less about corporate property damage.

Good. Burn the fucker down.
