Enormous Hotel Fire but Fireworks Go Ahead?? Wtf?

Updated info from Al Jazeera
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/12/fire-engulfs-dubai-tower-year-celebrations-151231175202927.html

Dennis Mallari, a Dubai-based photographer, was at the 48th floor of the hotel, when the fire broke out. He was trapped for about two hours before rescuers could get him.

"It happened so fast. I quickly grabbed my camera, but the next thing I knew, thick black smoke had already blocked my path to the exit. I thought it was the end," Mallari, who was there to cover the 2016 New Year countdown, told Al Jazeera.

To escape from the "suffocating" smoke, Mallari had to tie himself to a cable, using his belt and camera strap, and partly hang from the balcony.

Oshaeni Idahosa, a resident at The Address, said: "When we looked out it was fire on the balcony. We started running out.

"I'm still in shock. The sprinklers didn't come out, there were no sprinklers. There's no fire alarm."

Despite the massive fire, the New Year's Eve fireworks show nearby at the world's tallest building went ahead as planned.

HUGE HOTEL FIRE has struck in Dubai on New Years Eve. My prayers for everyone there, fires are terrifying and this is very bad just from the footage YET they are claiming no injuries. I hope that is true. Will update this more ....as info comes...

EARTHQUAKES-Watch-SHARE-PREPARE!!!

Check out this video and links http://www.dutchsinse.com
PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!! PLEASE SHARE!!

UPDATE: Just added this video.

When all are one and one is all

So weird, doesn't this sound like :
lady who's sure all that glitters is gold/
May Queen - Christy Clark
forests- as Super Beautiful British Columbia
stairway to heaven(hell)- LNG/Pipelines/Fish Farms
Piper -Green ways-(Sunny ways? Trudeau-? )
Now listen...very interesting...

Or what's your take on it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all"

"Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Do NOT Despair!! "You, the people have the power ...

You the People have the POWER!!!

The Great Dictator's Speech-
http://www.charliechaplin.com/en/synopsis/articles/29-The-Great-Dictator-s-Speech

"Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost...."

"You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Dictator#/media/File:Dictator_charlie5.jpg

---------------------------------------

This timeless speech from Charlie Chaplin couldn't be more relevant today... Taken from his 1940 movie The Great Dictator, Charlie delivers a hair raising speech that we should all take a moment to think about! The man famous for not speaking, comes up with one of the greatest speeches ever...

Justino es guardia de seguridad en una fábrica de maniquíes. Al trabajar en el turno de noche nunca coincide con sus colegas de trabajo, pero irónicamente pasa sus noches rodeado de figuras humanas. Su soledad y sus ganas de compartir le llevan primero a interactuar con los propios maniquíes, y más tarde a comunicarse a través de ellos con sus compañeros del turno de mañana. En su afán por hacer cosas por los demás, Justino se llegará a olvidar de sí mismo pero el destino querrá que sus compañeros no se olviden de él.
