That is fireworks
There is close to zero human dignity in Dubai.
Who cares if a building is burning, perhaps people inside or property and injuries happening??? The show must go on in the decadent city of Dubai that is paved with gold and lives for another billion or more.
never trust Arabs, whether they are builders or terrorists…
