Yikes, that's terrible. Looks like it's at night and hopefully there are no people trapped in there.

holy crap how does a fire spread so quick like that? that seems like the fire spread way more than the twin towers on 9/11 and they were hit by freaking air liners full of jet fuel.

The whole country is basically ran by organized crime. I'm sure the buildings aren't exactly built to safety specs.

Holy wow that's terrible. I too am surprised at how it could get that out-of-control. Guess we'll have to wait for some details on what happened.

Truly sad. I hope noone is trapped in there as well.

Goes to show what happens when the government turn the other cheek to modern day slave labor.

They're saying this is an EXTERNAL fire and that the sprinklers are keeping things OK inside -- not buying it! This is looking like a total loss to me.

One of the fire experts is saying that there have been fires like this in the past that involved the decorative exterior covering, a curtain wall I think they call it. So this raises the question -- how the fuck is flammable material permitted anywhere in the world.

So, although they're being somewhat optimistic that the fire is contained to the outside, by my untrained eye there's absolutely nothing contained about it.
