The tallest building in Chechnya, part of a luxury condo-hotel complex in which French actor Gerard Depardieu owns an apartment, was rapidly consumed by fire on Wednesday evening, Russia Today is reporting.

Reports from the scene indicate that as crowds gathered in the street to watch, flaming crumbs of the 40-story building's facade splintered and fell to the ground. Massive clouds of black smoke blew into the Chechnyan sunset.
