The fire is really serious. Thanks @rwoman, for the BBC link.
Here's the link to the LA Times report:

I was actually in NBO 3 weeks ago and looking at the pictures I must admit that it's scary to think I could have been trapped there had I been traveling 3 weeks later. Hope everyone made it out safely. Having traveled through NBO, I can say that the airport isn't in the greatest shape though. I was in Unit 1 (which also caught fire, apparently) catching my EK flight to DXB.
