This is a video taken by me with my Samsung cell phone of the burning of the Burmese Embassy today [26May08].

The embassy is located a few doors down from the school where I teach and my classroom overlooks the grounds.

As you can see it was quite a blaze.

It began around 8am in the morning just as our classes had begun.

One might guess that the fire was started by protesters against the Junta government that is preventing aide to enter Burma. But some are now speculating that it was the Govt itself trying to create an excuse for not issuing Visas. The visa section is in the very building that burned to the ground.

Some news reprots claim it was a 2nd floor fire, but this video shows it was much more extensive.
