Huge fire at Dubai skyscraper

At the Address Hotel. May or may not have been caused by a New Year's eve fireworks display.



(P.S. — I wanted to use "Now that's a FIRE!" for the subject line, but seeing as how hundreds of people might be dead, I refrained).

 

If this were on 9/11 some here would be very, very happy.

 

Good luck to the firefighters.

 

Available to help if needed.

 

More miserable: TSP or ... Oh, nevermind. Dumb question.

 

Even the Muslim ones?

 

Hating everyone won't make you happy.

 

It makes you happy. Or maybe miserable. But being a miserable person makes you happy.

 

Back on topic, there is likely no way this is not a disaster of epic proportions. Trying to rescue people in a skyscraper is next to impossible. Lots of people are going to die. Ugh.

 

That's the worst fire I've ever seen -- by far. If hundreds don't die, it will be a miracle. Holy shit, what a conflagration.

 

Just saw a headline that said the fireworks celebration would go on as planned. WTF?

 

Fox News pretty much assuming it's a terrorist attack and say no reports of injuries or anyone trapped in hotel. I can't imagine everyone got out of there.
