still being made of inflammable material in the 21st century?

I don't believe for even the briefest moment that technology hasn't long since come up with materials that are totally fire-proof in the construction of tall buildings.

There was a scandal in Brisbane recently where buildings were clad in flammable materials.

Despite our technology, we have no cure for dodgy builders.

Hold the PHONE, FD!

Whatever happened to government building inspectors?

I couldn't believe what I was seeing about that burning hotel in Dubai. It was burning like a stack of hay.

No building nowadays should have flammable materials included. Most of these inflammables are the finishing touches - the cladding, the trimmings, and the ornamentations of the building/ship/plane.

Perhaps it was natural oils dripping from the locals' hair every time they went out onto the balcony and started sweating.
