Pawan Singh / The National
When you're on a roll, you're on a roll.
Sadly, though sometimes it's downhill.
To be fair, when the Hancock Building opened in Boston, smart folks soon learned to stay at least one or two blocks away because the windows had the unhappy habit of popping out. And of course there's the "Building of 1,000 ------" in Hong Kong whose unique porthole style windows were designed to deal with problems as well.
So the reference to "Burjbacle" is not to the problems as much as to the way they are being handled.

Burjbacle *snicker* i like it.
I have to admit, my Schadenfreude is very pleased with all the developments in Dubai.
And now Citiscape Dubai is no more. Gone "Global" as they say.
Will the next to go be DIB, "re-christened" Khalifa Islamic Bank?
However, with all that has happened in the "developed and sophisticated" West, it's a good idea not to overlook the ample opportunities to exercise one's Schadenfreude there. In the grand scheme of things, that's where the main ring of the circus is.
