If the Chinese continue doing everything bigger than the rest of the world, Texas is going to get a complex.

Wow, that's a hell of a blaze. What's the story on this one? Deliberately lit etc?

More pictures, looks like it's falling over in the last one but that might just be the angle.
Weird that there's been some attempt to censor news reports about it. Or not I guess, it being China and all. Hard to imagine there's something a government would want to hide there though so it's just censoring for the sake of it.


Edit: Some after pictures. Yeah... someone's probably going to notice that.

From Doc's Shanghaiist link:

Quote
At Netease, the comments have been "harmonized." Though there were 2000 plus comments last night, this morning it's been reduced to around 9.

Wow. But, the 2000 comments did get up there for a while. Fascinating.
