Despite Betteridge's law regarding the above reference, I have read some early suggestions that the building's cladding "significantly contributed" to the fire, an issue that I assume g is similar to:

I thought I had read a discussion regarding the above on this site, however I was not able to locate a link.
This is not my background, and I have not been following in detail.

Wonder if the claddings in Dubai are the Chinese made "Alucobest" as in the Melbourne fire.

I know they do in South America, but maybe also in Dubai.

"The ones with 100-percent polyethylene core can burn quiet readily," Dean said. "Some of the older, even fire-rated materials, still have quite a lot of polymer in them.""

RE: Was Dubai’s Address Hotel Built to Burn?
It makes me wonder if the paneling on this building, if made partially with aluminum, became molten, got wet and caused several of the explosions that were heard in the story.
RE: Was Dubai’s Address Hotel Built to Burn?
There have indeed been several molten aluminum and water explosions at aluminum smelters and reclamation plants, but the cause of these is well known and would not apply in this case. The small explosions on the high rise balconies were most likely gas bottles exploding.
