#2  From Skidmark’s link:

Spine-chilling footage shows the moment a huge fire engulfed a 67-storey skyscraper in Dubai.

Marina Pinnacle - a residential building home to 3,820 people in the affluent area of the Dubai Marina - went up in flames at around 9.30pm on Friday night.

Dubai Civil Defence teams spent six hours tackling the blaze until it was successfully contained early on Saturday morning.

All 3,820 residents from 764 apartments were evacuated safely and there were no injuries, according to the Dubai Media Office (DMO).

This is not the first time the Marina Fire has caught fire with NDTV reporting that a blaze broke out on the 47th floor as a result of a 'kitchen incident' in May 2015.
