Hotel in CCTV complex burns


February 09, 2009 The new headquarters of China Central Television appeared unscathed Monday night despite a new luxury hotel next door being engulfed in fire. The fire, which began around 9 p.m. local time, might have been sparked by a large fireworks display inside or near the CCTV complex. The 40-story building, slated to open this year under the Mandarin Oriental brand, was still burning at 10:40 p.m., though Beijing firefighters could be seen spraying water on lower parts of the building.
