STORYLINE:

Plumes of smoke billowed in the air from a fire raging at a luxury tower in Dubai late on December 31st 2015.
Teams of firefighters worked to put out the blaze that engulfed a 63-storey luxury hotel and residential building, as tens of thousands of people whistled and cheered at the fireworks show taking place at the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, nearby.
Just minutes before the fireworks began, large explosions could be heard from inside the burning building, which was cloaked in thick black smoke.
It was not clear what caused the blasts.
At least 14 people were slightly injured and one person suffered a heart attack from the smoke and over-crowding during evacuation late on Thursday, according to Dubai Media Office.
