An enormous fire has engulfed a skyscraper in the Chinese city of Changsha, state media reports.
Footage posted by the Guardian showed massive flames racing up the 42-story building's side as office workers rushed to evacuate the building.
The BBC reports thick clouds of black smoke billowed out of the structure, which is a regional office for China Telecom.
An entire side of the skyscraper appeared to be engulfed in flames at one point.
In another video, dozens of people could be seen fleeing the scene as flaming debris rained down from the skyscraper's upper floors.
According to state media, the building was completed in the year 2000 and is positioned near a major ring road in the city of Changsha, the 10-million person capital of Hunan province, in south-central China.
