| Unfinished Mandarin Oriental hotel in Beijing is on fire |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-09-09 04:29 PM by Subdivisions
http://www.gadling.com/2009/02/09/unfinished-mandarin-oriental-hotel-in-beijing-is-on-fire/  What was supposed to be the flagship hotel of the Mandarin Oriental chain in China, has turned into a 40 story inferno. The fire has lit up the Beijing skyline, and took place in the final hours of the Chinese Lunar New Year - when many people are setting off fireworks. The Mandarin Oriental Beijing is located next to the new headquarters of China Central Television, but that building is said to be undamaged. A grand opening was scheduled for later this year. The hotel was originally slated to open in time for the 2008 Olympics but has been delayed several times. -snip- WARNING: Any comparison of this news event to any previous skyscraper fire on a specific previous date is strictly prohibited in General Discussion.
