Thanks to reports about Internet news on the burning getting harmonized, I thought I’d quickly download some more photos from Sina of the fire at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel (aka Television Cultural Center aka Boot aka Termites Nest). A quick follow up to our earlier post on CCTV fire photos.
UPDATE 2/12: Apparently the photos were not from Sina editorial but from Pan Shiyi, Chairman of SOHO China. Comment from Zach Herold, SOHO China:
These photos were taken by Mr. Pan Shiyi, Chairman of SOHO China, and posted on his Sina blog (http://blog.sina.com.cn/panshiyi). They have nothing to do with Sina editorial. Thank you for giving proper credit to the source. Zach Herold
I guess this is what happens when a brand new building is hit by Chinese New Year fireworks.
