Dubai skyscraper blaze burns on into 2016

A towering inferno that engulfed a 63-storey luxury hotel in Dubai on New Year's Eve burned on into the first morning of 2016 as firefighters worked to douse its embers.

The blaze at the Address Downtown, one of the most upscale hotels and residences in Dubai, comes after a series of fires striking the towers that provide the city's futuristic skyline.
