    what exactly burns in these buildings? Surely its mainly concrete, steel and glass in these structures, not like traditional British houses with wooden floors, walls and roofs.

    Fire resistant materials used in modern furnishings will still burn but at a slower rate, which will hopefully give the occupants enough time to escape. As the fire and heat intensifies so does the speed at which these fire resistant materials burn. (">

    I thought it was funny when the authorities in Dubai announced that the fire was under control when it was clearly still a full on blazing inferno. (">

    It's like when Comical Ali was saying on live TV that they were under no threat in the war and you could literally see tanks behind him taking over the airport.

    LOL. I remember that. Governments and people in authority are so used to spewing out bullshit that they still carry on when all evidence to the contrary is there for everyone to see. Its obvious they think the general population are too thick to see it. (">
