    Aftermath of CCTV Annex & hotel fire

    By hozr2002  |  Posted February 10, 2009  |  Beijing, China
     

    I've been working across the street from the CCTV building for over a year and watching the structures being erected. Having seen the fire break out and rapidly spread last night, coming in this morning obviously provided a new and disturbing view of the CCTV annex. Although the structure is intact and looks eerily familiar, looking more closely the massive damage caused by the fire can be seen - the metal siding has been burnt away, windows burned out, and metal twisted. The sheer power of the fire is obvious even from 500m away.
