There's a lot more burning

Those beams will flex under stress and heat.

Collapses inside are very likely happening. As far as the entire building, no.

Isn't this the same place that uses saltwater to build reinforced concrete structures? I wouldn't expect great structural integrity here.

I haven't read this thread. But on Facebook, the 9/11 Truthers are coming out and doing their thing.

The fire has really spread to the base of the hotel now so I'm not sure they are going to get this 100% contained in the next 5 minutes.

Another huge explosion #3 just took place. I'm thinking the fire will suppress itself out which is clearly what the Dubai authorities are banking on.



Spreading to other side of the building too

Basically, since the towers collapsed on 9/11 and this hotel hasn't collapsed yet means 9/11 is fake or something.

That's what I got out of it.

Flames are spreading and explosions are going off, but they have it 90% contained.

Someone posted this on reddit

quote:

Around 70 percent of the UAE’s high-rise buildings are thought to be covered in aluminium composite panels, which have been favoured by developers keen to keep costs down without compromising aesthetics. The problem with the panels is that the thermoplastic core sandwiched in their centre is highly flammable and causes fire to spread rapidly up and down the building.

No doubt. There are some basement living tin foil hat wearing fruitcakes that have a serious erection right now.
You will see a few show up in this thread later on. Watch and see.

It appears the fire has burned through the other side of the building in that picture, if so this thing will be coming down tonight.
