Seems to be a lot of this lately. Insurance fraud? (dumping empty buildings?) Or just poor sprinkler/fire suppression?

Its china, so… yes

Why is this “world news”?

GhostOfElectricity ,

China is part of the world.

Coreidan ,

And? This story literally is only relevant to China and the local population. This doesn’t affect the rest of the world in any way.

So why is this “world news”?

AngrilyEatingMuffins ,

Were you posting this shit around the Grenfell tower fire? The Seoul crush? If you’d gone back in time what would your reaction to the Hindenburg be?

Shut your xenophobic ass up and sit the fuck down as we mourn a tragic loss of life. We’re all human and this is a moment to reflect on that fact. Use it. You need it.

Riiiight. Definitely made with Western AI generation. There is no way such a disaster could ever occur in glorious China.

Thank you! 🙏

At least you and your upvoters got the joke

And I just watched The Towering Inferno last weekend.

... By any chance, were you watching The Poseidon Adventure in mid-June?

I don’t understand how it could get to that point. I don’t know what code these were built to but a high rise office building in my country would have to be non combustible construction and depending on the year it was built have sprinklers. Office buildings are typically low hazard occupancies with limited fuel loads.

SheeEttin ,

Bold of you to assume they were built to any code.

    It seems similar to the last time an office building caught fire like this in China. The building was fairly fire resistant except for the facade which was made of materials that burn up really fast.

    Combustible aluminum cladding with a flammable insulation layer.

    zephyreks ,

    China probably has more high-rise buildings than your country has low-rise buildings… Are you surprised?

    umad_cause_ibad ,

    I live in Canada… so yes you are probably right based just on population alone.

    I’m not surprised, I would say disappointed though.

    Plibbert ,

    Alright ya know that is a really fair point. I’m sure regulation and code enforcement has a role to play here but keeping in mind they probably have twice the amount of high rise structures compared to anyone is a pretty big factor.

    The UK had Grenfell just a few years ago.

    You'd be surprised. Grenfell fire in the UK and that building that collapsed a week after it was declared fit just happened like a month ago in the US. Corruption is everywhere.

    BongRipsMcGee420 ,

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the real estate crisis. Shitty situation all around, but I sure hope we’re not just burning buildings and fucking the environment to get out of bad business deals.

    Aurenkin ,

    Don’t worry, I’m sure nobody would prioritise business over the environment.
