Huge Fire at The Address Downtown Dubai Luxury Hotel timelapse (Original Post) wildbilln864 Jan 2016 OP
Why did this building not collapse? n/t 7wo7rees Jan 2016 #1

Oh. Got it. n/t 7wo7rees Jan 2016 #6
listening to the live reports that day, one person actually said that the fire started when curtains niyad Jan 2016 #31
Because it wasn't hit by a 767 flying at a very high speed? Is this a trick question? Nt hack89 Jan 2016 #7
No, not a trick question. Calm, breathe. Just a question, 7wo7rees Jan 2016 #8

Am not engaging any further.

It was just an observation, a question.

I have video of six or so towers burning since 2001.

I was just making some humor.
I apologize if it came off as a slap at you, I assure you that wasn't the case.
Have a good and peaceful night.

I never took it as such. Why did you ass/u/me I did?
I was just remarking that you seemed to miss the point of my post to niyad. Figured you were just confused again.

I just assumed that you might take it as a slap at you because of our past exchanges in the CT group, but I'm glad you didn't and I should have known better that you would see it as humor.
