You really need to get out from in front of the TV. Especially CfuckingNfuckingN.

This story says 1) The thing was under construction and more importantly 2) it is not yet known if the fire was caused by (so-called) rioters.

(as people were recording their crime) I feel that they would have no qualms about setting fire a building to reach their agenda.

because it went up in flames so quickly. I'll bet there was either a lot of accelerant used or some source within the construction project that was highly flammable. I kid you not; I was watching the TV live and that thing was engulfed almost immediately.
