Shocking scenes on social media.
Looks like some shortcuts were taken when it was being built. there's no way a new hotel should go up like that,

Re: Dubai Hotel Fire
That is scary. I would think there is no chance of evacuating many of the floors from that.

Re: Dubai Hotel Fire
That's insane. I wonder why the automated deluge system didn't kick in ? THere is no way a fire fighting team are putting that out.

Re: Dubai Hotel Fire
Absolutely horrific, I saw this on the BBC site this morning, can't believe there were no fatalities, fingers crossed everyone got out, sounds like the Dubai government on top of it at the moment, but would they tell us if half a dozen Asian workers didn't make it out?

Re: Dubai Hotel Fire
No they wouldn't care about them. They only care for their own, Asian workers are scum that is all they are to Dubai richies!
Also what happened, surely if this happened in Europe we would be calliing out as a terrorist attack, I know Dubai are pretty protected because they pay these guys off etc but surely something that big couldn't of just been a microwave sparking!?!
