ok basically...

the building was:

1. designed like a chimney (Koolhaas in trouble), and was
2. set alight by illegal fireworks (Hunan Fireworks in trouble)
3. that CCTV overrode local police attempts to stop (CCTV in trouble),
4. that the contractor failed to hose down while the fireworks were going off - unlike all the other buildings in the area with different contractors (Beijing Urban Construction Group in trouble),
5. and that was fueled by zinc in the cladding (engineering firm Arup Associates, and their fireproofing record in trouble).

The insurance company and lawyers are going to have a field day.
