My friend who lived there said, “Chinese construction.”

The building looks fully-engulfed; how’d they get all those people out... a miracle.

That is an image I hope to never endure for a place I live.
May God work to guide those within to Him.

I am guessing another Ramadan related cooking fire.

The quick response by Sharjah Civil Defence teams averted a major disaster, authorities said.Based on the photo, it looks already like a disaster.

Another flammable curtain wall fire??
To: rrrod
In that case, probably built by a corrupt construction company. Its a truly horrible fire, and I cant believe how fast it moved.

Could be. Lots of Bosnians were there at the time. Very different than Dubai.

Looks more like debris.
Doesnt look like a disaster was averted. Fire probably stopped when there was no fuel remaining.
