i m not quite sure that people know what s going on. i think they are waiting for a fireworks display that is going to happen. what a contrast in these images we re seeing. we see this beautiful building. they are doing an extraordinary view of explaining what he s seeing from his zecht floor apartment balcony. you see the flames there the address hotel. and you are describing the people are rather confused. they are not sure what they are weight for if it s beginning to happen.
earlier you showed us from your balcony that you could look right in. front of the burj skmoelt see burj park where 100,000 people would converge in order to watch the fireworks display. could you tell whether or not some people were looking trying to turn their heads looking at one point at the fireworks display and checking out the fire. what were you able to see? could you see that r clearly? most of the people are watching the fireworks. they have been watching the fire for over two hours. so i u suspect the sadness because of the fire, people are there for a reason, which was to see the fireworks. earlier you were showing live pictures.
point in the last six minutes or so i have been talking to josh? yes, you can actually see the water from the fire trucks, as you can see to the right side of the building, which is closer to the boulevard. but nothing over towards the dubai mall side, which is to the left. so as you can see, it s still fairly engulfed. it has moved from the balcony s interior to the individual apartments. i don t know where the split is between the hotel and the apartment side, but it s still fairly engulfed at this. point in time. so bruce r you saying there are two towers there. no, it s split in elevations.
what s the indicator? what s your gut. say about that? i don t know. if officials say it s going to go off, they are pretty good about that. they are not going to dismiss it. with the events behind me, it doesn t seem to be what would happen. and it s very windy. you re on your balcony. how many stories up are you? seven. okay, you have seen fireworks displays there before. for people just joining us, that s taped of the explosion of that building to the right. you ve seen it much windier before and still have the fireworks display. this is different because you have the address hotel that s on fire. you don t believe weather would change the dynamics here. there s another explosion
which was one of the tallest residential towers also had a fire similar to this. . so again, it is a chance you take when you live in a high-rise building. with regards to residents and that building there is also run by because they have extensive training. and bruce, give. me an idea. did you hear anything unusual before you saw the flames? what did you experience before you witnessed the flames out of control as they are rugt now. i was out on the balcony watching. i had a photo of the building i took just before the fire. and it s just kind of a sense of euphoria. the music was playing. and then all of a sudden you saw the flames and everyone was run
