NYE fireworks display gone wrong.

If you're quick, you will see the whole building collapse into a pile of rubble. That's what happens to steel framed sky scrapers that have fires isn't it?

Looks incredibly sinister to me. How can a fire rip through a modern hotel THAT quick without it being contained?

fires started simultaneously in different parts of this huge tourist international hotel?

Not sinister at all. Buildings in Dubai look pretty but are insanely shoddy. Theres a documentary about building the indoor ski slope the quality is unbelievably poor

Fire can spread quick as we know but it would have to be made of some chipboard **** to go up like it did. Plus it's the tallest building in the world, major landmark. Definitely suss.

Has it collapsed yet? If not, you would have to ask whether American Architects engineers, construction firms and material suppliers are just complete cowboys who have no idea how to build steel framed sky scrapers, and could really learn a thing or two from the b slave wage burmese builders who work from bamboo scaffolding.
Report paradox and equilibrium • December 31, 2015 11:25 PM GMT
Or here's a crazy thought, maybe the Salomon brothers WTC 7 building actually didn't just collapse at free fall speed from two floors of fire, and the 27 box steel girders didn't all give way exactly at the same moment across the whole building. maybe, there was some nefarious circumstances we didn't previously consider!

Erm, this building didn't have a Boeing 747 crash into it. Might have something to do with it don't you think?

Are you from the girlfriend free conspiracy world?

Fair play to Dubai last night getting along with it. A fire like that in London would have shut down the city for a week. A nation of H&S fannies.

saying a possible curtain fire ,firework not out of the question then imo and not the worst suggestion

also the property crash in dubai was massive and this building was completed in 2008 ,could have led to compromises on safety ,no doubt all these buildings are very  modern using untested futuristic  technical designs .

packed hotel and everyone on balcony's ,too many doors open and conditions perfect for rapid spread of fire ,flames were licking up the outside like the building had been covered with something very flammable ,perhaps curtains blowing in the breeze did facilitate the rapid spread ,initial cause yet to be determined but it happened very quickly ,there was some reports of explosions ,also the pics of the flash and flames over looks unelievable ,was only 22c so not roasting .
