cctv building is on fire in China Beijing 2009-2-9(2) acutelady.com 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 pm (8 am 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.

It’s seems like the fireworks have not only bring joy to the Chinese people on Lunar new year, but also bring down a whole building on fire. Acording to the tradition of the Spring festival, people light fireworks to stop the bad luck of the past year, I truthly don’t think that the people that was in or around that building got any luckier that night. Still not news on the TV or radio, so there is not much information about what happens, it’s seems like some fireworks burn the roof of the building and then the whole building got into flames. The fire started around 8PM of the 9th of Febraury, and the fire end about 12AM, but I’m not sure about this information, we’ll have to wait for the news on TV. The name of the building is TVCC and is the one located next to CCTV tower, world trade center, and the SOHO building, there is a hotel a shoping mall and a teather in that building
