Re: Blaze Engulfs Dubai - World's Tallest Skyscraper
Despite Fears and Huge Fire, New Year Revels Roll On
By AP, 31 December 2015
On a New Year's Eve haunted by fears of terrorism, a spectacular fire in one of Dubai's tall towers captured the world's attention. With few exceptions, the celebrations rolled on, and while fire still raged,
The Dubai Media office declared on Twitter: "New Year celebrations in Dubai will continue as scheduled."
And it was quite a show, drawing cheers and whistles from tens of thousands people watching the barrage of fireworks competing with the burning building for attention.
