Morphine Prince 109,997 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 A huge fire has engulfed a 63-storey hotel in central Dubai ahead of a New Year's Eve firework display. Despite the blaze at the Address hotel, the display at the nearby Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, started as planned at midnight. Officials say the fire has been brought under control and 16 people suffered mostly minor injures. It is unclear what caused the blaze, which broke out as large crowds had gathered to ring in the new year. People were asked to leave the area around the Address hotel, which was evacuated.
