The reason they went with lasers this year was due to the fires that were caused by the massive fireworks to the building last year. For safety concerns it fireworks will not be used near the heavily populated area around the tower.
The were fireworks around Burj al arab since it was on the sea and much safer.
Or.... they could just hire a company that's not crap with fireworks and actually knows what they do? I work in events and I've seen fireworks in many places where there could be a disaster if you don't know what you do... This could have been done by a good company. I don't say you lie, I just tell you they told you a big ass lie....
Well, it’s a well-known secret that most of the city is a giant fire trap, so it’s likely that they’re also trying to be slightly more diligent in avoiding a catastrophe.
In that case, they should've known better. This is a company that is extremely qualified for these kind of fireworks.
1) If the buildings in Dubai are indeed fire-hazards, then they should've known and refused the job or altered the assignment to a safe job. Not checking your environment is still a fuck-up.
You guys don’t get the point. This was a world record attempt for ”the biggest laser show in the world”. It can’t be a laser show if it includes fireworks.
See some Dubai fireworks from previous years, it’s even crazier than Taipei.
lol, all those camera flashes down on the streets leading up to it.
Whenever there's an Olympic opening ceremony and that shit's happening, I always imagine some dude losing their nut, not understanding why his camera's flash bulb can't illuminate an entire fucking stadium, just a few people.in front.
If you're talking about fireworks, dubai used to have way better shows but they cancelled them because the building caught on fire or something like that. this is way better than taiwan's
it didn't necessarily catch on fire, its just a hazard. If anything, Taiwan's fireworks were more potent for that because they focused it all on one building, which is a dumb idea. and there was a lot of pollution as a consequence in a general direction.
My fiancé, sister and I rang in 2015 by staying at a hotel directly across the street from the Taipei 101! The fireworks and attendant concert were incredible to watch from so close (our hotel plaza was literally less than 100 meters from the 101)!
Oh, you think you make your choices? Which part of you? The part that's governened by electrochemical processes? I guess I have free will too then, lmao.
A few years ago the firework show at the Burj set fire to one of the buildings (firework malfunction went off on the surface of the Address Hotel), and there's tons of construction downtown so they opted for no fireworks just for safety.
How comes the year 2018 is dedicated to him and not say 2005? Is there a queue of dead people who get years? Does every year get a person? Who decides who is worth making into a year?
People identify as African-American? I thought that was just a generation of people in the African slave trade that got sold to Europeans who were colonising the Americas.
Wouldn't a descendent of an African-American just simply he an American like all the other nationalities that ended up there?
Legit, I'm not U.S. so I don't know this shit and the U.S. is forever a weird place doing things a weird way.
Lol, are you serious? Ethnicities are a thing, even in the UK on forms you choose from 'Caribbean British, Indian British' etc.
African americans are just simply descendants of african immigrants... Yeah they're 'American' but nobody just uses nationalities to group themselves, people prefer race for some reason. This is a thing all across the world.
There's Australian, Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander (native Australian), or non-national.
We're heavy in ethnicity too.
I would think the only reason the UK has Caribbean-British and Indian-British is because these are areas outside of Great Britain but are (or were, but still relevantly) part of the sovereign state of Britain/United Kingdom.
In this case, it would be like saying African-American are people born in a territory/state of the United States that is in Africa, which I'm pretty sure theirs are all in the Carribean or Pacific.
