Fireworks Destroy Beijing Icon
It seems that the uncontrolled urban fireworks I talked about recently have taken their toll on one of China's newest icons. Part of the CCTV complex in Beijing went up in smoke last night following a fireworks display for the Lantern Festival which closes out the Lunar New Year. Will Beijing reimpose its ban on rampant fireworks?

Was that thing built out of wood? I can't believe a new high tech building like that would burn to the ground from sparks. That makes me wonder about those hotels we stayed in when we were in Beijing.
