More fireworks

There was another fire in China because of fireworks. According to the Feb. 10, 2009 New York Times, A fire was started at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Beijing. The building was completed in May and was 34 stories tall. Stray fireworks from a Lunar New Year celebration are said to be the cause.
I find it a little ironic that the Chinese invented fireworks, but there have been two damaging fires, that made world news, in the last few weeks.
