Fire rips through Dubai skyscraper

[Bootie]

A fire has ripped through the Torch skyscraper in Dubai, one of the tallest residential buildings in the world.

Strong winds were helping the blaze to spread across the 336.1m (1,105ft) building in the marina district.

One witness said it looked like "the Titanic going down", Gulfnews.com reports.

What??

It looked like the Titanic going down.

LMAO

What a strange remark you can't compare that one.....no loss of life in the fire where's the comparison, that sort of reporting tells me me i would have been good at that reporting game

Certain irony in that the building that caught fire is called "the Torch"
