Blaze engulfs Dubai skyscraper near world’s tallest building
Makes you wonder what will happen in New York tonight doesn’t it?

At least 20 stories of a 5-star Dubai hotel became engulfed in flames as the city was preparing for New Year’s Eve celebrations, with 16 people receiving injuries. Firefighters are currently battling the fire at the 302-meter tall Address Downtown Dubai.

It was not immediately clear what caused the fire, which covered at least 20 stories of the building near the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper. Burning debris rained down from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene.

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.
