What a mess!

I'm just betting they'll blame it on the fireworks!

HUGE fire at the Address Hotel, just NEAR the NYE fireworks display site, and just adjacent to the Burj Kalifa skyscraper, which is the one they usually shoot effects from each year!

So far, no implications of fireworks having been the cause (and I hope it stays that way).

But the hotel has been totaled.

They've now reported it as caused "by an electrical short-circuit", although I don't know how they could have determined that with the fire still burning.

At least, the NYE fireworks show seemed to go without a hitch. I'm sure there were some "tight shorts" on the crew, though!

Man!
