No that Hotel its worth to much



Out Of Control

No that Hotel is worth to much

Doesn't matter how much it's worth Arista... if the fire takes hold to the extent that the fire fighters can't put it out (which from the latest pictures, looks likely) then the building is going down. Fire doesn't care about how much something costs.

I hope no one is hurt or killed but as for the building ... ... ... well, these Dubai hotels are usually massive hideous displays of excess, built using the profits of oil exploitation. Not sad to see that burn tbqfh.

If the main junction box was affected you would've thought the lights would go out.

Sorry meant a Sub section box for sprinklers.




At least The Firework Display has gone off 2016

And the Very important Hotel is safe,
sadly one had a heart attack and died


15th floor it started on
Residents block

Again Arista; so what? The WTC was one of the most important structures in the financial world. It still fell :shrug:. The value of a building has absolutely no bearing on whether or not a fire will destroy it.

That's like saying Bill Gates wouldn't die if he was shot in the head, because he's too rich.

Thats tricky
because if they own up
- prison or worse


private residents must behave
