Damn!

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Wow!

Surprised it didn’t collapse perfectly on itself

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Oh no.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

Hmm so it’s the outer layer burning. Must have used the same outer layer as the Hindenburg

"no victims reported so far according to state media" of course, state media.

Reminds me of the Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017.

Holy shit my curiosity is piqued as to what burned that well in the building. if I didn't know any better I'd say it was full of jet fuel.

Then again 35 tons of fuel for servers is what almost 5500+ gallons?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Comparing it to WTC???

wtf

Covid strikes again ….

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Um...

 

[Blownbyyou]

I will say they got that under control fucking quick

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

From the videos I’m Guessing it went real quick to the top note of less on the outside of the building only and burned itself out.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Wtf is server fuel

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Wtf is server fuel

guessing deezul for the gennies. standby data center power is known for causing fires.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Diesel doesn't burn really so nah

[VenomousDSG]

Looks environmentally friendly

 

[v6buicks]

I'm gonna blame this one on piss poor communist building standards. Mighty bold of that Twitter account to compare a fire with supposedly no casualties to 9/11 though.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Diesel doesn't burn really so nah

Maybe not but it's the best I can think of. Unless that building is just made of flammable stuff. That's kinda what I am curious about, that is a hell of a fire and as said 20 minutes strikes me as it ran outa fuel.

 

[IDAFC21]

Well its just a good thing no one was hurted

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

I bet you it was an insurance job someone dumped like 20 gallons of gas down the facade and it burned away relatively quickly and went out
