"The official Xinhua news agency cited a witness saying the fire began when building materials had caught alight."

So in other words, the fire began when the the building caught on fire

[minicivan]

Did it collapse?

Did a very large commercial plane fly right through the center of it causing massive structural damage?

Damn. They need bigger fire trucks.

That reminds me of a news story i read once, i think it was in India where an tower block caught fire and the firemen couldn't reach them so a party of builders (under their own initutive) built a bridge out of scaffolding from the building they were working on to the one on fire and saved people.

[wild johnny]

That sucks, I feel for those who died.

[Altwebdesign]

saw this in the paper earlier, puts it into context with how feeble the water and ladders look next to the building

[HomerSimpson]

Did it collapse?

It's China not America.
