You'd think the Chinese, the people who invented fireworks, would know how to use them correctly. But a fire caused by fireworks gutted a five-star hotel in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province.
The hotel could have been saved but -
"fire engines, whose water guns could jet water only 50 meters high, were helpless at the fire which flamed on the top of Tower A, 219 meters high."What the hell? Didn't anyone think that scenario through? Someone at either the Ministry of Hoses or the Ministry of Towers messed up big time.
No one was hurt but the Xinhua News took a catty swipe at the hotel's guests -
"All the 50-odd people in the hotel were evacuated."Maybe it was an Odd Couples convention.
