Mohammad Ammar Al Bitar, a Syrian national told Khaleej Times that he's been a resident of two buildings in MArina when they caught fire and he can't believe it. The first time was when he used to live on the 61st floor of Tiger Tower (also known as Pinnacle Tower) and now again in Sulafa Tower.
Lamenting his bad luck, he said it's time again for him to find a new place to live in.
Al Bitar, who lives on the 46th floor of Sulafa, said he was living in Tiger Tower when fire erupted there and moved into Sulafa just 5 months back.
Both times when the buildings caught fire, he was inside the building. He used to live on the 61st floor of Torch.
"I like the view from the higher floors," said Ammar, who grabbed only his wallet and keys and started moving rapidly down the stairs in his slippers.
Looking at an elderly man, also a Sulafa resident, who was climbing down the stairs escorting two small kids, he said: "I lifted them up and climbed down 46 floors." Pressing his arms as if to relieve the pain, Al Ammar said he was heading to his brother's place and he was left with no cash in his wallet.
His brother lives in The Gardens. "At least I will be near the mosque there if I die," he jokes, saying he doesn't want to be in any more buildings that catch fire.
"It's too much!"
