I guess, that the Arabs build better skyscrapers, than we have in New York!
That's terrible such a beautiful sight to see and then the fire.Im sorry for this sad news.Prayers for all❤
I still remember when me and y neohews were stuck in this building
New York:9/11

Now we’re even
Man i remember seeing this in person

That lady is lucky her rats-nest hair didn't catch fire.
Why didn’t it collapse ? I thought fire made buildings collapse

@
I remember when I was watching tv and saw this

Why it shows Happy New Year 2016 on the news
2011: Sabine Moreau dies
2015 New Years: comes back as a ghost and creates fire
Even I saw the fire and I was also 5
Plz stop taking videos and photos of your naibours or if u are only in that building will u take photos and videos of we see from out side u will think just a fire but if u are in then only u know the pain
Amazing it didn't collapse in its own footprint in an hour , I thought all skyscrapers did , Oh only when Israeli art students spend time in them ??????
I remember when I was 5, I saw the ruins of this hotel while eating outside, near the Dubai Mall. I never thought that it was THIS bad. Good thing I watched the fireworks from a few kilometers away, in my old house.
So… skyscrapers don't collapse when they burn? Doesn't fire melt steel beams? Hmmmmmmmmm
Are the construction techniques better in Dubai. The fire was unable to collapse this building, but WTC 1@ 2 and building 7 only building to collapse due to fire.
I remember I watched that in real life 4 years ago I was 8 years old and back then I used to play karate so by the time I waited I played some sports and then when I got tired I thought the celebration had started but it was the complete opposite I saw hundreds of police men and some were right in front of me but then they stopped the fire and we all got over it when the celebration acctually started
It's fire fireworks display
Looks like the experts are right this building didnt collapse thru fire yet 3 did in 2001 how amazing is that.if buildings collapsed that perfect as they did and i had just paid millions tp a demolition company to lay explosives to drop a building in its own footprint in 7 seconds i would want my money back. All you have to do is set fire at top and it will collapse perfectly. I say we dont beed demo experts
I was there
It looks like a battle
Fireworks vs fire who will win beauti or horror
2 things happening At once
Yes really
NICE
But it didn't fall down.
Did you even expecdet that
I remember that I was right in front of Dubai Mall watching the fireworks show from the highway area.
My parents and I brought chairs for such an occasion.
But Me and everyone else there was shocked when we say the burning building. Even after the fireworks show and everyone started to leave, some still watch the fire from the building.
I myself was watching the fire more than the fireworks, but I had to head back into the mall with my parents since we needed to eat (skipped dinner) and our car was in the parking garage beside the mall.
Also my brothers were there his red was so red like his cheeks was like tomato
Happy new year
Will the rook is coming dont worry about it
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLOOOOOOKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!????
I was I there… ahh bad memories… memories…
Likewise it finally happened in London
It was because of the fireworks was it not? How I hate fireworks. Every year I worry they would burn my house.
I was there for celebration new year 2016 and it was horrible night everything going bad..thanks God I changed my mind to not ate in that restaurant in that hotel burned..my opinion crowded time there
What a waste of money, what a nice punishment from god, these guys are nothing but a disgrace to humanity, they took 0 'refugees' of their own brothers and sisters, some people are well fed while the others just simply suffer. Do you know how hard it is for middle class immigrants to make their kids go to a basic school in that country, it is so ridiculous you don't even want to talk about it.
Hopefully nobody died
THATS AWFUL WHAT A TERIBLE THING TO HAPEN TO THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR ,
