UAE: Dubai hotel goes up in flames.

[Rexx Taylor]

anyone watching this as we speak, and laughing at whoever is claiming that the fire is contained?

 

[aris2chat]

sprinklers inside the building do go off and it allowed many inside to get out of the building. Seems they are not strong enough to put out the fire, or there was an accelerant the sprinklers could not put out.

Or they just ran out of water.

Usually sprinklers need to be supported by pumpers after a few minutes, in the US it's less of a problem because a fire engine gets hooked up in a few minutes.

Who knows in Dubai, it's a Desert city it might have "skimped on the water".

maybe some dude fell asleep smoking?

Give it time I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Dubai is a major tourist attraction so it's probably a newer build than the WTC. Also bear in mind it didn't have a jet packed with fuel crash into it. It's also only 63 stories where the WTC was taller and had more weight.

More weight?

The WTC Fires were on the 92nd floor and above, meaning the fire only affected an 18 STORY BUILDING.

GOOD FUCKING GOD..are you people insane?

I meant the overall building (WTC) had more weight to support than this building. Don't forget the WTC was hit by a passenger plane and burned with Jet fuel. This building as far as I know was just a normal fire and no jet hit it. The jet hitting the structure of the WTC alone would have done major damage to the internal structure add the higher intensity burn of the jet fuel and there is not comparison to the hotel in Dubai.

I know what you mean but let's just back up a second.

1) Only 18 floors were effected by the plane impacts in 9/11 in the South Tower. So the weight being held up by 18 floors is much less than the weight of 91 floors supporting it.

Think of this just a moment, if you weigh 220 pounds, are you afraid that 36 pounds is going to collapse and crush you as you hold it above your head?

Absolutely not.

When a Semi Truck hits a VW Bug at high speed, does the Semi Truck explode into pulverized powder?

No. Even if your arms broke the object would just hit you in the head and bounce off.

Conclusion of point 1: The 18 floors that collapsed would have fallen off the WTC South Tower like the top of a wedding cake. Unless you believe the idiot architect built the WTC like a Jenga Puzzle? Which would be grossly STUPID.

2) The problem and violence of the impact wasn't contained to the impact floors, the whole damn building was falling apart. How the fuck does that happen?

I get it, you weren't there, much less, you never run into burning buildings.

But wanna know what? 2 floors beneath the fire floor is TRADITIONALLY considered the Staging area, because it is SAFE.

So what the hell was going on structurally within the WTC South Tower that caused the GROUND FLOOR to be a chaotic mess of EXPLODING ELEVATOR SHAFTS, Collapsing floors, and etc?

Conclusion to point 2: Either WTC was experiencing multiple attacks on multiple floors causing MASSIVE structural problems, or something VERY weird was happening such as the Core support was still intact and the whole superstructure was twisting like a tree breaking from root to crown.

3) Eye witnesses testify to these problems, that there were fires and smoke everywhere, that there were collapses internally all over the place. Different levels experienced different collapses in different stages. Jet fuel does not EXPLODE...so what was causing EXPLOSIONS? Gasoline EXPLODES...JET FUEL DOES NOT.

Question to 3: What was causing explosions?

I'm not fully convinced WTC was an inside job, but let's not kid ourselves, those planes unless something was massively wrong with the Structural composition of the WTC towers, would not have done what they did.

They would have set fire to the floors, collapsed the floors they impacted, and the tops of the WTC towers would have fallen off like cutting off the top of a tree.

When you cut the top of a tree off (when you crown a tree), it doesn't collapse the entire tree.

You've heard of Momentum? An object moving at a high rate of speed hits a stationary object with no give causes major damage like a 90 MPH baseball would if it hits anything like a glass and steal mail box. The vibration from the strike could have damaged the supports further and the fire finished it off. The buildings continued to stay straight because the base wasn't damaged until the end so the collapsing floors pancaked rather than listing sideways and the whole thing came down on itself like an imploded building. What caused the explosions? Gee IDK maybe the impact of a fast moving object coming to a screeching halt then bursting into flames heating up the air and blowing outward with heat and displaced air flying out the sides of the buildings. You do know that passenger planes can reach speeds of 500 MPH. You have heard of Backdraft.

Dude my cousin, may he RIP, was a fireman doing cleanup on the TWC and he didn't mention anything odd about what he saw. I don't buy into the conspiracy theories. Shit happened,people were killed, the building collapsed because a bomb with wings hit a stationary structure. End of story.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

as i am watching fox news, they are saying that "It Was A Five Star Hotel"...well? so what is it now??

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

anyone watching this as we speak, and laughing at whoever is claiming that the fire is contained?

So people possibly dying in a hotel fire is funny to you? If this fire was in New York or L.A. would you still be laughing?

celebrations go one in the rest of the city for the new year.

Life does not stand still no matter the cause of damage.

 

[aris2chat]

16 reported injuries so far

GOOD FUCKING GOD..are you people insane?

Sorry for the outburst but as a Firefighter from my perspective, you just don't realize how absurd it is to think that a plane could have taken down the WTC.

Did you see what was happening WITHIN the TOWERS themselves during the fire?

It was unheard of chaos, never before has anything like that happened, how could it happen except with explosives?

There were explosions in elevator shafts, there were massive parts of the building collapsing at all levels, floors caving in at lower, middle and upper parts of the structure. These are EYE WITNESS testimonies of the Fire Companies actually inside fighting the fire. There were fires on multiple levels below the impact floor. How the hell did THAT happen? In the military as a firefighter you are exposed to jet fuel fires a lot, it burns hot, but it's STABLE.

It doesn't explode.

It doesn't case explosions when it burns in the open.

It just burns hot and quick, it is a very refined product with a flashpoint of approximately 75Degrees, gasoline's flashpoint is minus 45Degrees.

Which is why Gasoline EXPLODES.

There are videos of the events on the GROUND floor...and the whole building was telegraphic that it was collapsing from multiple levels.

The building was shedding large superstructure.

How the hell does that happen if ALL THE DAMAGE is from a PLANE on the 92nd floor?

There was no gasoline. There was kerosene.

maybe some dude fell asleep smoking?

Give it time I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Dubai is a major tourist attraction so it's probably a newer build than the WTC. Also bear in mind it didn't have a jet packed with fuel crash into it. It's also only 63 stories where the WTC was taller and had more weight.

I'll make a prediction.... it will not collapse.

First, the governments own report openly states that all the fuel burned up with the initial fireball.

Moreover, the open air burn temp of kerosene is only about 1,000ºC, which is actually lower than gasoline, and is almost 1/3rd lower than the melting point of steel. That's regular steel. High rise buildings, have a much higher quality steel than that.

While WTC 1 and 2, were taller, that isn't relevant to the claims. The claim is that plane hitting the 78th floor, caused the weight of the above floors to buckle the 78th floor. There were only 20 floors of weight above the 78th floor.

This fire, there were 40 floors of weight above the 78th floor.

Moreover, the fire consumed all the floors. With the twin towers, there are people who came down from the floors above the fire. Fire did not consume the entire building.

If that is not problematic enough, how do you explain WTC 7? No plane hit it. No fire consumed even an entire floor. There was some smoke, and a little flame, from one side of the building. Only 52 floors.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

if something like this were to happen under Hillary, how long before she sends help?

Hillary elected...WW3 in 6 months
Trump elected...bankrupt in 6 months

i think Huma would get the call that some skyscraper is on fire, then tell the person that Hillary is too confused right now to make any decisions on the fire rescue plan.

A massive fire erupted at the Address Downtown Hotel in Dubai today - sending flames shooting into the sky ahead of the city's glitzy New Year's Eve celebration, the Dubai Media Office confirmed in a tweet.

The fire started on the 20th floor, according to the Dubai government. No injuries have been reported so far, the Dubai Civil Defense General said.

The hotel was evacuated, and four teams of firefighters are currently on the scene and have controlled about 65 percent of the fire, according to the Dubai Civil Defense General. Internal fire extinguishers prevented the fire from spreading inside the building, the Dubai government said in a tweet.

The hotel fire is across the street from the location of the New Year's Eve fireworks show, billed to be “bigger than ever” this year with a 20-minute domino-effect firework display shooting from the entire length of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, the tallest building in the world.

The show will go on as planned, the Dubai Civil Defense General said.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Why didn't this tower collapse like the WTC towers straight into its own foot print all tidy like?

Is there a big hole 2/3rds of the way up?

You truthers are truly the dumbest idiots on the planet

The twin towers when it was built and the engineering needed to build them that many stories contributed to the collapse.

>>> will be looking forward to when Hillary makes her regards, then blames a video

 

[JimBowie1958]

Witnesses and survivors say no alarms or sprinkler system in the hotel, no toll for how many died.
And they're going on with the fireworks show.
Fucking banana republic without the bananas.

I dont doubt you , but do you have a link?

Again, there was no hole on WTC 7. There simply was not. How do you explain that?

Even so, go to a screen door, and poke it will a pencil. Does the entire screen disintegrate into rubble? No.

Now pretend the screen is made of high grade steel, with massive concrete encased steel pillars in the middle. That aluminum plane hitting the steel frame of that building, was like a pencil going through a screen door.

Remember that the entire point of that design was specifically to handle an impact by a plane. It was designed to take multiple impacts, and stay in tact.

Again, the government report says very clearly the damage from the planes was insignificant. They claim it was the heat from the intense blaze. So even the government couldn't claim the damage from the planes was the cause. It was the massive inferno. Only, there was no inferno.

This hotel in Dubia.... that was an inferno. 9/11 was not. Yet that tower is still there, like dozens of other tower fires, and the twin towers are not. You can believe whatever you want to believe, but the facts are not on your side.
