No one injured thankfully, but not so good for the animals in Petland.

Was there last friday, and i'm not surprised this happened - theres no such thing as H & S around here.

On the bright side, won't have to stay in next thursday for my new furniture to be delivered!!

I always went there to see the parrots :( ...they had a lovely African Grey who always said hello when you went to see him.

I dread to think

I have only just got back is this for real or what??? I drove past there yesterday, i must be as blind as a bat :o

Drove past there on the way to City Centre earlier. It's only the outside walls still standing, the whole interior is completely burnt down, including the roof.

Apparently started by a welder on the roof, I guess he must of left his blow torch on before he went home??

Hmmmmmm....drove past and round earlier this afternoon. Doesn't look that bad, not even any soot stains on the walls or road outside........ I think this may be a dubai overexaggeration........

Re: Oasis Centre Burnt Down
 

I heard it was Al Queda.....Bin laden is in Dubai!!......... :p :p

Re: Oasis Centre Burnt Down
 

Hmmm... I dunno... Ibn Battuta opened a few months ago, Mall of the Emirates opening soon, Dubai Mall at some point after that... in other words, lots of extra competition from bigger and better malls...

The owners of the Oasis didn't up the insurance cover recently, did they? ;)

Thx hun :D

Re: Oasis Centre Burnt Down
 

I could never enter or exit that mall without thinking about how stupid the design was. If there were people in there, they would have had zero chance of escape.

Poor kittys at the Petland though. :(

Re: Oasis Centre Burnt Down
 

I know that the cats and dogs are taken to their boarding kennels/cattery overnight - not sure about the other animals though

Re: Oasis Centre Burnt Down
 

I totally agree it was an awful design safety wise, and thank god there weren't people inside, it doesn't bear thinking about :(
