I am sure modern building should prevent a fire spreading like this

I hope people managed to evacuate

Wow! Wonder why their fire suspression system didn't kick in...if they had one, although construction and OSH standards in modern Dubai are pretty strict.

They seem to say that the fire was mostly on the outside. Not sure how that works.

Shit, I was just there 5 days ago. Fun place, for a big, clean, Muslimish, developed city. That said, I did pay 24 fucking dollars for a double rum and coke.

Haha, I believe that women can wear whatever they want in the UAE.

Got my drink on, but no pork fix. Apparently restaurants have to have a special licence to serve pork.

I worked in Dubai for a couple of years. OK place if you have an alcohol license and know where to buy pork.....
