Dubai 2016 Resolution... The Show Must go On!
Back to work on our personal Show.
Thanks to the hospitality of one of my UAE Student, I got the privilege to spend the New Year 2016 celebration on his Beach House in the cross points of Dubai Mega Fire Works. As I was waiting the show to start I notice a huge smoke crossing around the 828 meters Burj Khalifa Tower. I was then informed by others spectators that a fire had initiate in nearby residence and hotel "The Address". To better understand what was going on, I went back to the Beach House and turn on CNN to find with great concern that in fact a huge fire was consuming the entire side of the 300 meters Address Tower just across the Burj Khalifa Tower. I must say it was pretty shocking.
The CNN reporters started to debate about what will happen to the Show. In theory the "No Show" seems to be the appropriate decision considering the proximity of the Fire. In practical the "Yes Show" favored the debate by the fact that Hundreds of Thousands made the trip to watch and by cancelling it would have created more harms. 10 minutes before Midnight the Dubai Authority stated that the "AddressTower" fire was under control with 16 minors injured and the Show will go on.
Wish your Golf Season to go on and beyond. #HappyNewYear #TheShowMustGoOn #IamCaddiePlayer Stéphane Barras
