SIHANOUKVILLE - This morning, 18 June 2108, at 7 am, a fire broke out in the basement where machinery is stored on a hotel building site in Sihanoukville. The fire raged until 10 am when the firefighters overcame the blaze. It is reported that there was some sort of rubber product which created intense smoke when it caught fire.
There was a large amount of material damage, but no one was injured.

The Most Ugly Building in Sihanoukville has some serious competitors. This may be too close to call. :dm:

Too bad it's mostly concrete. Would have been nice to see the fucker burn to the ground. Are there any whiteys still in town or is the exodus to Kampot complete?

I see there have been some design changes since the pictures were painted. Any idea what the rubber substance could have been? Not sure where you'd use a load of rubber in a hotel
