42 floors, china telecom building. It’s out apparently, but fuuuuck how many people didn’t get out?
How does a building go up in flames like that?! Are there no fire retardant systems?! Did they paint the exterior with gasoline?! I’ve got a feeling the builders/engineers/architects of this building are going to be on the hot seat. Praying for everyone inside and hope the loss of life is minimal.
Did the building collapse?
Looks awful. Hopefully it started slow and everyone got out. I wonder how the buildings structure is holding up? That’s going to be tough to demolish.
China said nobody died. So… a bunch of people died.
Before someone does it…. Let me get it out of the way…. “stupid comment about WTC7”
Edit: damn those fools are quick.
Edit again: removed the word “idiots”. Sorry I don’t intend to be an arsehole deliberately.
My heart goes out to anyone trapped in that building.
So cool when like 70% of the comments here are riffs on China.
I get it, you don’t like their leadership. I don’t either. But if disaster struck where I lived and all the comments are jabs at my country, I’d be pretty damn offended by that.
Didnt collapse, what a miracle.
Insert interesting building 7 fact here:
High quality construction.
Did it collapse?
I have heard that the Chinese housing market was on fire right now.
This is why regulations are key to everything that happens in society.
As an ex-real estate agent I found that people fight against regulations and codes due to pure ignorance and greed while at the same time these codes have save millions of lives a year just in the US.
We would be seeing this type of fire a couple times a week just in the US in every major city if it weren’t for all the codes and regulations in place.
Mother fucker….. said the Chinese man
Down voted for translating
All that heat and it still hasn’t collapsed
OK, I know it’s China, but do they not have a fire sprinkler/suppression system? Even on the outside of the building there would be something.
Source: Used to put in fire sprinkler/suppression systems (you’d be amazed at where sprinklers actually have to be put).
That must have been a big spider
Thank god it wasn’t built by the americans who did the WTC7.
Well now it’s easier to spot the racist people here
Bet is still didn’t collapse in free fall speed. Further shows what a complete inside job September 11th was.
well go on engineer’s enlighten us as to why it’s not in free fall
Evergrand headquarters?
That’s a very flammable building, looks like an unfinished building? so maybe not much people in it, or maybe it’s been burning so long the outer wall is gone….
awful. I hope everyone got out 🙁
Remember that one time the twin towers fell apart only moments after catching fire at the tippy tippy top?
Edit: Wild how sentiment changes as time passes… within 5 years of the event, the inside job was obvious to many but the most extreme patriots.
Today…. CONSPIRACY THEORY! lol
does it by any chance contain 2.3trillion of accountables
Mods seem to suck at dealing with casual 9/11 conspiracies lol
This is burning way too fast to be up to USA codes for sure. YES I UNDERSTAND THIS IS CHINA.
In the USA , we have many standards and codes to follow. Some say it’s way too many. But, when you look at this building burning the way it is burning, you realize that we do not have fires like this in the USA. Why? Because material has to have a fire rating. Wires, sheetrock, facade material, framing, carpet, wall paper etc.
This allows buildings to burn at a far slower rate.
This building burns faster and hotter than human hair covered in gun powder.
