Filipino photographer saved by window-cleaner's rope; hangs off 48th-floor balcony for two hours during the Dubai hotel fire on New Year. Here's the story...
Dubai-based Filipino photographer Dennis Borja Mallari was in The Address Downtown on New Year’s Eve to photograph the Burj Khalifa fireworks.
After the fire broke out at around 9.30pm – which is said to have started on the 20th floor – he found himself in a smoke-filled room with no obvious route for escape.
Seeing it as his only option, he then dangled from the 48th storey of the 990-foot-tall building on a window cleaning platform, phoning friends to ask for help.
