Massive Fire Breaks Out In Dubai Hotel During New Year Fireworks Display - Live Feed
Update: There are reports of a "large explosion" near the site of the fire. Here's the clip:
Authorities say the blaze is 90% contained. There are 14 reported injuries and 1 reported casualty although we suspect these numbers will be the subject of some debate and dispute in the hours to come.
Earlier:
Have "the terrorists" turned into arsonists, did someone misfire a bottle rocket in their room, or are the powers that be out to destroy the Gold Holding evidence?
Whatever the case, a massive fire has broken out at The Address hotel in downtown Dubai. The building boasts a 5-star hotel and is 302 meters tall.

"The fire broke out Thursday in a residential building near Dubai's massive New Year's Eve fireworks display," AP reports, adding that "it was not immediately clear what caused the fire, which ran up at least 20 stories of the building near the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper at 828 meters (905 yards) [and rained] burning debris from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene."
Although no cause has yet been identified, one witness apparently told CNN she heard an explosion around the time the building was engulfed in flames.

Burn baby burn.
Happy New Year. Maybe this'll be the year the whole miserable city of Dubai is burnt to a cinder.
I forewarned you about these dirty sand niggers. Kissinger and the Federal Reserve Petro dollar recycling. The two kotex ragging cat bitches are clawing at each other. One is about to go to jail.

With oil at $36 and fiddy cent they'll have it replaced in about five hundred years.
The Emir of Dubai will blame Assad.
The main problem here is there was no Thermite in those fire works. The building will be gutted but still standing.
I feel that this is a sign of prosperity and peace in the new year to come.
Simple, terrorist supporters and enablers..........Fuck 'em !
Let it burn.
Nice flag. My nationality. We fly the American Flag. Whats new based on..

Watching CNN and Fox. Not one mention about possible building collapse. Very odd.
You would think that this could be possible after 9/11. WTC 7 collapsed and did not burn even half as bad as the hotel is. This could become embarrassing unless they have rigged the building and will pull it to shut up everyone about 9/11.
Nice way to end the year. Sarc
you're right no one says a word about getting far away in case it collapses.
Nice way to end the year. Sarc
Larry Silverstein does not have to pay the insurance for 2016. Works out well.
Detonation control failure. Will be hilarious if unfired rigging is found in the remains...
Popular Mechanics should have an article out soon explaining the architects and engineers in Dubai know so much more about buildings and structural integrity than in the US.
Certain USA bldgs have pillars with reinforced thermite. Art students help to do these retrofits to make the buildings stronger.
Climate change induced Jewish Lightening!
Did Silverstien give the order to "Pull It" yet???????.
Several unrelated comments:
1-Was there Gold in the basement like on 911?
2-Owner getting bitch-slapped for ties to Turkey ISIS oil deals?
3-Related to Gold AE Scandle?
and lastly, Oh f*&%, now, big brother (Obama) is going to want to outlaw fireworks to put his "icing on the cake" of the 250% tariff on Chinese steel.
This is one of the times that it sucks to be rich living at the top.

Is there a website where I can bet on whether this will collapse??
etrade dot com.
It won't collapse because it wasn't hit by a fully loaded A380.
neither was building 7
Only problem is that WTC 1 and 2 were specifically designed for impacts from large airplanes at speeds of 500+ MPH.
Oh yeah, and WTC 7 wasn't hit by a plane either. So...?
Saw the headline, Popped in to see how many "Pull It" and "It'll Collapse" comments.
I was Not disappointed. You guys are great.
Have the passports been found yet?
We haven't the access to purchase bomb or fire proof Passports in the US.
Any CNN reports yet with panicked hotel guests like Robby Parker or Gene Rosen? I hope they were not injured.
I thought New Years was at midnight? They are partying early!
Can that thing of yours reach up 20 stories? I think they need you. Shitting some skittles would be a plus...
Could be our Hawaii MB (muslim brotherhood) operating on a golf course for alibi. NSA is all over this. Sick world we have become.
Boy, there sure are days when I feel enlightened after reading the commentary here...
...and then there's today.
Thought it was the S&P500.
Heyyyy who started the festive lamb roasting bonfire on the 20th floor?
Is it my imagination or is that a Syrian passport on the pavement next to this inferno
I heard they found Assad himself's passport on site. Time for regime change
Probably a Trump supporter passport. Was this a Trump building? Maybe the elites will use this to try to take Trump down a notch or two.
Jewish lightening strikes again!
Oh the humantiy. I hope these people are smart enough to cancel the fireworks for this evening.
They are gonna have to pump a lot of oil to pay for a new bldg. I'll guess there will be a lot more spent for fire suppression retrofits on the other tall bldgs. Better late than never.
Where's the body count? Pics of people jumping? If it bleeds it leads.
My G/f suggests (with a smile) that building might have been built better than the twin towers...
Did somebody already make a 9/11 joke?
I logged in just to say PULL IT but I'll bet some other bitchez already beat me to it.
Not sure how good of a hotel the Address is / was, but it sure made one hell of a Roman Candle.
According to a few ZH posts it was a heck of a place to stay. I get the feeling this fire was NOT started by somebody grilling pork chops on a balcony.
With ISIS under attack big time by the Russians, and now their "oil trade" partners have been drug into the spotlight, their call for a "global jihad" earlier this week signals that they are in trouble of collapsing. My money would bet that there are multiple acts of terrorism across the globe as the New Year comes on. The best defense is a good offense. iSIS knows the best way to take the heat off of them in the Middle East is to have everyone focused internally trying to root out domestic terrorists. I do think the evening will get more interesting, and we will be in for a long and tragic night unfortunately.
Could this be related to the bacon heist? Again, just laughing.

Could Dubai have used Cape Coral, FL Chinese drywall overstock inventory to erect the new burning building? That was back in 2006-2007. Just having a good laugh. Relax.

Does anyone wonder about christmas lights on palm trees in a Muslim nation?
BTW, did you know that the Burj Al Arab design has a what looks like a Christian cross from the sea?
Ah fuck it.
Anyway, if that building in Dubai does not collapse perfectly on its footprint, that fucking Silverstein has some 'splaining to do.
No, wait it wasn't Silverstein. Friday is a Muslim holy day, right?
Silverstein was sucking cock in the Mosque...ya that's right.
It couldn't have been him...hmmmm.
Ok what else do we have in the hat...let's see here...
Tell the State Department it was an Iranian missile. Ya, that's it.
No..wait. It was Putin smoking crack with a gaggle of Ukrainian hookers...
Uh, Chinese gangsters plotting a reverse IPO?
Ah fuck it.
Just tell those fuckers it wasn't us this time.
Got it.

Did it collapse in free-fall?
How come the fire didn't melt the strucutral supports?
Did any adjacent buildings all of a sudden decide to implode on themselves?
You mean....like WTC? Now what made you think of that?
Serves them right for making it out of wood.
Hold on a second.
Those guys on Mythbusters said fire would definately soften structural steel and allow for a potential collapse within a hour.
They would't lie, would they?
3:13 first mention of possible collapse on CNN. Maybe an implosion. Structure compromised...
Their (NORAD & air defenses) fire department was sent far far away to participate in a drill so unfortunately no help was available. Strangest thing, the drill was admittedly exactly the same as the event. All the smart people with normal functioning psychology and logic know that these things happen all of the time.
Over
and over
and over
and over again.
Let's hope they have the decency to get their firefighters out of the building before they "pull it". Larry Silverstein was decent enough to do so with WTC7 - a shame the demo teams didn't get the word out in time to save those firefighters in WTC1 and 2. But with all the confusion and all, can you blame them?
Fireworks display while a major fire of a high rise is underway less than a mile away!...
Not only is it emblematic of not wanting to visit UAE ever, but I almost want Russia to send one of it's subs to deploy a "multi-colored" thermonuclear warhead on that city to show their appreciation to the World how decadent, corrupt andfucked up the West truly is!
Happy New Year everyone to being witness to one of the most surreal things you could ever want to watch as a backdrop to relentless wars of choice ignited by those 3 buildings 14 years ago to prop up a flagging (One World Reserve Currency the USD) the rest of the World no longer wants or needs anymore because of it's destruction...
And a very bad omen to 2016 to boot!!!
One thing for citizens everywhere, government-sponsored firewords is the only time they actuallly get to enjoy seeing their tax dollars go up in smoke.
2.5.3.4 Limitations.
The results are estimates based on a limited amount of available data. Although it was felt that
for most cases to be analyzed that both off gassing of O2 from the fuel and misting or sprays of
fuel can be ignored, that may not always be the case. For large quantities of fuel and small ullage
spaces, the off gassing of O2 from the fuel may raise the O2 level in the ullage significantly (3%
to 5%) thus reducing the spark energy needed for ignition. Should fuel be sprayed into a tank
during flight the lower flammability limit would be greatly decreased, making the above
calculation invalid.

Does Qatar or Saudi Arabia have any mega skyscrapers?
Maybe the Russians, Iranians, Syrians, Libya Yemenis and other people including bumbf*ck Bob from the oil patch in TexAss who f**ked over by the scum in Qatar and Saudi Arabia could spend a night with some barbaque lighter fluid.
That essplosion was pretty gnarly!
remember building 7
At least they won't have to worry about demolition -that one is certain to collapse at free fall speed. Soon.
it was a feature ... no really ...
So let me guess, it will soon fall flat as a pancake, because we all know when big building catch fire, like they did on 9/11, they fall perfecting flat.
One wonders why even hire a very expensive demolition team, when you can just light some low temp burning jet fuel on the top floor, and let it work its magic.
The ONLY thing 9/11 is a testament to, is how stupid they think the American people are, and how easy it is to fool us.
I remember listening to "liberal" NPR (liberal my ass, they are zionist/corporatist filth), during a call in show about 9/11. A women called in and questioned some of the government's explanation for what happened. She even thought the government may have been involved, the guest on the talk show proceeded to savage her, basically calling her insane, a conspiracy nut (just like if you had said the CIA backs ISIS).
Funny thing is Larry Silverstone just bought it and insured it with....Citi?
This is probably a hank Greenberg/ AIG job. They are reinsured by the US taxpayers, so there really is no loss to anyone -anyone of importance, anyway.
If the main engines catch fire that whole thing could take off and land nose-first on the moon!
So, the Arab is bound by Physics but the Jew is not!

Wow!......what a great analogy of Obama, Hillary, Yellon, and the marxocrats........
While the economy burns, the marxocrats will shoot off fireworks, to celebrate how they saved the economy from a debt disaster by running up more debt.......
What I find amazing is that this massive steel, concrete and glass structure didn't experience an epic pancake failure and implode and explode into powdered ash and fragments like WTC 1 & 2.
Oh by the way, Building 7 that had "trash can fires" simply implode at freefall speed after NOT BEING HIT BY ANYTHING!
Oh that's right, it was Global Thermo Systemic Collapse from heat fatigue! How silly of me to think physics are working again in the universe!
https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/pseudosc/911nutphysics.htm
Excellent pics on this page of the controled demolition and explosives materials jutting out for hundreds of yards in all directions. Looks like a pyroclastic explosion actually.
I gues I'm wondering why the physics of today did not apply to NYC01?
hmmmm... This building should have collapsed with full free fall implosion, concrete glass and steel turing to powdered ash... why has this not happened yet?
Why is there not a massive pile of rubble on the ground in a pile from the complete global structural breakdown and pancaking effect along with the obvious massive elephant in the room, exploding in mid air turning into powdered ash and dust cloud that envelops the city around it! SARC NOT OFF SCUMBAG USG!
Gee, this hotel in Dubai must have been built to withstand the laws of physics according to the 911 commission report!
Ask what the flash point of twin tower steel vs plane fuel.

CNN reporting fire under control, WTF???
The fire was racing up dozens of floors on the face of the bldg and now everything is OK?
Strange, all the way
Crazy mate... are you CNN's actual Viewer? (single tense! :-)
Chinese hyperglides come in at 6,000 mph. The Russian Topol M comes in at 15,000 mph. I sure hope Bibi isn't taking a shit. I wonder if he can run the 200 meters to the evac helicopters.
NO distractions today! We're focused on the comparative analysis of how this relates to NYC01! Nice try!
OK, sorry about that.
Hey, it was a luxurious fire, not your run-of-the-mill plebian fire....

Reminds of 9/11 fakery.
For the record Jet A fuel does NOT EXPLODE at sea level and ambient temperatures.
40 years of data and specific testing related to TWA 800 investigation prove it.
You had me till TWA 800 investigation. That absolutely did not happen the way the official "investigation" says it did.
No doubt it didn't but the Jet fuel data doesn't lie. It was just misapplied.
There is no doubt there was an "explosion" when the planes allegedly hit the towers.
That's impossible at sea level.
Jet A Explosion Experiments: Laboratory Testing

A Review of the Flammability Hazard of Jet A
Quote:
Jet A and A-1 flash points are currently specified to be a minimum of 37.8°C (100°F). This limit was set in 1975, when it was reduced from 40.6°C (105°F), in order to conform to commodity classifications of “nonflammable” liquids [4].
DOT Requirements for Transporting Fuels in Tanks
Quote:
Current 49 CFR 173.120(b) language generally defines combustible liquids as materials with a FP > 141F (60.5 C) and < 200F (93 C).
Spark Ignition Energy Measurements in Jet A
See figure 21 pg. 33
These speak for themselves.
According NIST the weakest WTC steel sample that NIST tested was 36 KSI. 36 KSI = 36000 PSI
WTC outer columns averaged 60 KSI = 60000 PSI for a shear strength.
36000-60000 PSI versus 20-60 PSI
