Dubai airport chaos after Gulf storms | BBC News

My family live in Dubai. The pictures they sent were extremely shocking. Apartments on the 50th floor, flooded. 3 years of rainfall in the UAE, in a single day. It reached 255mm in less than 24 hours, which means the rainfall for one day in Dubai was the equivalent to more than 5 months of continuous rain in London. For a country not used to rain, this was insane.

Still in tailand no luggage 7 days so far

Lamborghinis, porsches have limited used now replaced by Canoes and dinghys

This flood is warning and punishment from God..human should stop evil works on earth.

THSI IS WHAT YOU GET FOR SUPPORTING ISRAEL AND HVING THEM IN YOUR COUNTRY

Don't forget remember Allah in your life

When you play with God's creation,you pay the concequences

Emeitus airlines are liars

We were treated very badly by Emeitus airlines, I will not travel eith them anymore and advice my friends and relatives to avoid Emeitus airlines as they have unprofessional approach towards customers

They can build cities in the middle of Persian Gulf, but can’t build a simple drainage system?🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Not because of global warming 🤣, it's because of claud seeding technology, read weather manipulation

I heard about some organization that manipulates the weather to destabilize governments – no one knows who is behind it but it seems true. This isn't natural!

Once a 3rd world country, still a 3rd world country

Cloud Seeding is the term, Dubai did it to themselves that's why it rained and the media is not even discussing it, they are even portraying it as a "natural" disaster, there is nothing natural about it.

We stand with Palestine not Dubai

Spent 35 hours at dubai airport. First flight on tuesday night was cancelled.
The worst part was the lack of communication. No emirates staff on any gates. Delaying flight times multiple times then cancelling them. Then to book on a new flight you had to que up in unmanned que which took me 10 hours. No organization so people were pushing in, the bodies made it so hot people were passing out, people called for medics and the only help came from other passengers. Fights broke out. It was carnage.

Their crisis management needs a overhaul. To treat paying customers like that was horrific. Vouchers for the worst outlets in the airport (and only selected meals/dishes), doesnt cut it.

Finally made it home, 5 days later.

Luxury literally became trash overnight.

Never ever go to dubai airport

This so called CEO is delusional.

We were warned by Emirates staff yesterday not to fly to Dubai if possible due to chaotic situation there , and told us if we do land at Dubais airport we will not be given accommodation or food etc…its our own risk . We have 3 little children . We decided to stay where we are and rebook our flights. Thankfully we have place to stay and not in any rush , but I feel for all the people who in worse situation than us and all parents with little children too trying to get home . Stay strong 🙏

It is persian Gulf not Arab Gulf

The Chinese government has posed a serious threat and destruction to global freedom! Simultaneously threatening the most fundamental rights of humanity! The right to speak! So what the Chinese government really wants is a stable global dictatorship!

If you seek information for today you will not find, simply because the city is chaos everywhere and big media doesnt want to report.

To all the people leaving negative comments, you need to understand that a big and unpredicted natural disaster happened. And believe me that the UAE will come out even stronger from this, no doubts.

I was delayed 2 days getting from the UK to SL. Total chaos, no information given by Emerites,
No excuse for no info.
I will not ever fly Emerites again, snd
Expect full compensation.
No excuse for not informing those booked to fly. .
