I have a friend that lives there and is on vacation. Could you tell if this was the East or West Tower?

we were coming back home after dinner thru the corniche seeing the lights and we were near the commercial bank signal when i spotted something fishy

saw the smoke and whoa the building was on fire...and i saw a ball of fire falling from the upper floors down...the fire engines were honking and everybody was thinking it was for the national day celebrations!!!
