UAE Building Codes

They probably suck.
A large fire has hit at least two residential towers in the United Arab Emirates, in the third such incident in a little more than a year.

The fire struck one tower in Ajman emirate, north of Dubai, before spreading to an adjacent block.
Or they are "adjustable", in that the building inspectors will develop a sudden case of situational blindness if the situation warrants.

I was wondering about that. "Fire in a High rise", what are they building there? I saw where one was caused by "smoking"? wtf kind of high rise goes up because of a cig?

Official estimates of 10-20% vs experts estimates of 65-75% of buildings with combustible aluminium cladding? WTF? Even the "official" estimate is insane! Aluminium sheets sandwiching a thermoplastic core, good grief. You've covered the aluminium battleship angle already Comrade, does no one ever learn from this shit?

Hey, you could always visit lovely Qatar for the World Cup and sleep in tents instead! I'm sure there is no way that could go wrong.
