That looks awful beyond description.

Can you imagine that 911 call:

911, what's your emergency?

Fire!  Big Fire!!!!

Ok, what's the address?

The Address.

Yes sir, what's the address?

The Address.

Yes sir, I need the address.

The Address.

Sir, I can't help you if you don't give me the address.

I don't know the address, The Address.

Sir, please calm down and give me the address.

I don't think you want the Address. It is all burned down.

Reminds me of the MGM Grand fire in Las Vegas back in the early 80s, killed nearly 100 people as I recall.  Years later I stayed at Ballys, but didn't realize it was the same hotel under new ownership until a guy I met in the sportsbook told me.  It was a little creepy for me there for the rest of our stay.

Be many more none Muslims in the hotels there. If your trade is in concrete, glass or air conditioning, Dubai is the place to work. The harbour reminds you it's old meeting the new.

Seeing events like this fire in real time make one appreciate modern comms. Here's a guy broadcasting the monster fire to the world on his phone with "Periscope", but still no decent pics of Bigfoot or a UFO? A couple big explosions in the last few minutes.  And it seems their proceeding with the big Dubai fireworks show right across the street.  Go figure.

I guess that rules out the fire being started by Bigfoot or a UFO then, because if it had been, he would have gotten a picture for sure.

Could it have been angels?

Could it have been angels?

Absolutely, and at this point there's no proof that it wasn't.

But it's Dubai, maybe they wore an abaya.

Hey, a skyscraper on fire.

It's gonna collapse later on, right? You know, like they do.

Yeah, because skyscrapers built in the 60's are built the same way as they are in 2010, and sooner.

[Jackstar]

Has it collapsed yet? Since there has been such terrible loss of life, maybe it would be best to just pull it.

What are you talking about? No-one has died..Just a few minor injuries and one heart attack. Keep up.

I find it fascinating that the account on this board with the largest number of posts is run by a shameless 9/11 apologist.

You shouldn't believe what you think is fascinating Jack. Seriously.
