The lead story provided an unexpected relevance to the trip --- my first to Dubai. Dubai World, owned by the Dubai government, had announced a 6-month moratorium on payments of some of its $60 billion in debt. Since the announcement, stock markets have been dropping and recovering, company officials have attempted to calm borrowers and government officials have provided less assurance than Dubai’s investors might have preferred, though richer, neighboring Abu Dhabi backstopped Dubai with $10 billion in December. The United Arab Emirates: Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which like the United States and Canada is a federation. Broadly speaking, the emirates are as states or provinces. By far the richest is Abu Dhabi, with something like 10% of the world’s oil reserves.

  • Major High-Rise Fires
    Major High-rise Fires 1970 — 1 New York Plaza is a 50-story skyscraper in New York City that suffered a severe fire and explosion on August 5, 1970. The fire started around 6:00 PM on the 33rd and 34th floors and burned for more than six hours. It caused shear connections to fail and beams to drop onto girder flanges, resulting th in a partial collapse of the 34 floor. The rest of the steel structure remained standing. See http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/compare/fires.html and https://www.wpi.edu/Pubs/ETD/Available/etd-050406- 105306/unrestricted/rnacewicz.pdf 1975 — World Trade Center North Tower, otherwise known as WTC 1, was still a 110-story skyscraper when its 11th floor suffered a fire from an unknown cause on February 13, 1975. The fire started shortly before midnight in a furnished office on the 11th floor and spread through some 65% of the floor (the core plus half the office area). By the time firefighters arrived, flames were also spreading vertically via telephone cable openings in the floor slab, causing subsidiary fires from the 9th to the 19th floors. The fire lasted more than three hours and did an estimated $2 million worth of damage. Cleaning and service personnel were evacuated without any fatalities. However, of the 150 firefighters at the scene, 28 sustained injuries from the intense heat and smoke. According to Captain Harold Kull of Engine Co. 6, "It was like fighting a blow torch. Flames could be seen pouring out of 11th floor windows on the east side of the building." The structural steel trusses, undamaged, did not need to be replaced.
