It reminds me of the scene from Independence Day where the alien spaceship blows the building up.

Probably cheaper, easier, quicker, and certainly more profitable to cash in on insurance than to finish construction....

Looks like the fire is confined to the outside scaffolding. I hope the construction company is not using bamboo or wood scaffolding

Reports are that a sea creature from Japan had fired off a warning shot towards China. The Godzilla like monster is now heading back to Japan. Nothing to see here folks.
