    Insert witty Steve McQueen reference here.


    P.S. It says in the article that everyone is safe. Hope that's correct.

    Aptly named building for a fire to occur. Had to be intentional. Space Banditos I say

    Genuinely lucky if nobody is injured.

    I've been to visit friends in Dubai who happen to work in the construction industry. The standard of construction is terrible, would make our own cowboys look like master craftsmen.

    You wouldn't get me living in one of those deathtraps.

    They have all surrounding roads closed for a fair distance. There are police and fire brigades all over the road. Scary stuff. They appeared to have it under control when I passed an hour ago but looking at that picture it's hard to imagine they have. The sandstorm is already here too.

    Doesn't look great, does it :(

    The way the buildings over there were lashed together with slave labour make Priory Hall look good.
