A huge fire has engulfed a high-rise hotel in central Dubai ahead of a New Year's Eve firework display. Burning debris could be seen falling from the 300m-tall (1,000ft) building as firefighters tackled the blaze. The display at the world's tallest skyscraper, the nearby Burj Khalifa, started as planned as midnight arrived in the Gulf state. Officials say the fire is now under control and 16 people suffered mostly minor injures. The cause is not known. Up to two million people had been expected in central Dubai for the festivities. Crowds were asked to leave the area around The Address Downtown hotel, which has been evacuated. Flames appeared to rapidly engulf much of the building, a five-star hotel and apartment complex with more than 60 storeys, within 10 minutes. The Dubai government tweeted that 14 people had suffered minor injuries, one moderate injuries and one heart attack case due to "overcrowding and smoke at the fire site". The fire had started on the 20th floor, officials said. Horrific video of a hotel in Dubai engulfed in flames! MUST WATCH.

Marshmallows can't melt steel beams

Ill bet that without all the high explosives and thermite melting the structure this building will not fall into its own footprint at freefall speed. You know why? Because its not hot enough and there was never a plan to demolish this building. It was not set with charges to weaken its structure. Weakening its structure is not something that fire or jet fuel does.
Remember folks that 9/11 was an inside job. Ill be anything this building still stands. We all know it wont fall. -
I think those Trump supporters did it. You know they hate Muslims.
