At 8:27 pm on 9 February 2009, the entire building caught fire on the last day of the festivities of Chinese new year and was put out six hours later. A nearby unauthorised fireworks display caused the fire.

The incident, and its coverage by Chinese state media, caused a furore in China. CCTV officials had authorised the powerful pyrotechnics, carried it out without the required permit from local government, and ignored repeated police warnings not to hold them. The authorities’ attempts to limit damaging direct coverage of the blaze was criticised by citizens and the international press.

When this picture was taken, this building and its companion the CCTV building were both locked up behind 8ft razor wire topped fences. There was construction going on in the fenced area, but it was not quite clear what it in involved, although it appeared to be not related to the refurbishing of this building.

I usually don’t post much about current television events, but I did catch something on the news this moment that I felt I had to document. We’ve all heard about Charlie Sheen tearing up a New York City hotel room and then being hospitalized. But in a freak coincidence of promotional booking, Charlie’s ex-wife Denise Richards is making the rounds of the talk shows promoting her guest appearance on a show on Spike called “Blue Mountain State”.

I was watching Fox & Friends this morning on Fox News. They were about to cut to a commercial break but before they did, they cut to a shot of their green room and teased the upcoming segment featuring Denise Richards. There she was waving at the camera and the Steve Doocy mentioned she had an upcoming book, a new series and she was dealing with her ex-husband’s shenanigans. I couldn’t believe the bad timing.
