Tim Johnson samples the comments appearing on Chinese websites in the wake of a very suspicious fire at the CCTV building in Beijing earlier this week:
“It doesn’t make sense. How can fireworks set concrete, glass, and metal on fire like that? In order for fireworks to stick to, I’m assuming, a mostly concrete and glass building it’d have to be mixed with some kind of an adhesive.” – Name “I am curious about it. Why did not they apply high-tech fire extinction? Beijing should have complete and sound facilities. How did they handle with the Olympic but can not control a fire on a building?” – visitor2981472 “Oh my, such a big fire! It reminds me of 9/11 broadcast on TV.” – byzhouyang
Everybody knows fireworks can’t melt steel!
