NYTimes: A portion of Beijing's iconic China Central Television campus designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas was set ablaze by an errant firework during the final night of celebrations for the Lunar New Year. Investigators placed the blame for the blaze on China Central Television, whose employees defied the police by staging their illegal pyrotechnics too close to the unfinished complex. One firefighter was killed in the blaze and six others were injured.
