- THE destructive deluge that engulfed Dubai on Tuesday could end up costing the glitzy city $1billion to clean up after the "apocalyptic" floods.
The torrential downpours left airports submerged underwater, roads at a standstill and homes and businesses filled up with water as the cost of the damages begin to ramp up.

The Biggest, Largest, Tallest, Longest, widest City of records, humbled and brought to its knees by one blink of mother nature.
O que vem dos altos dos céus, não se pode prever jamais!
Yeah, more like by humans interfering with nature. Too much seeding.
Dubai has a new record, the largest sewage on the planet.
No rich country in the eyes of God
A true reward is in heaven.
Easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
They are cloud seeding, nothing to do with Sky Daddy
RICHNESS at the cost of the Rest of the World with the LEAST CONCERN for the ENVIRONMENT 😢
@@Dalla_DogYeah! Coz Abba's JUDGMENT will be GREATER and FINAL!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mother Nature's way of telling em that she doesn't like concrete and they *ucked up.
True.. but Dubai doesn't have a drainage system because the sand would block it.
That didn't help either
It's not mother nature, they have been cloud seeding, a "conspiracy theory" a couple years ago.
Thank you 100%

Nothing will work

They owe the foreign workers who built their city a few years ago billions. They will need them back to do the clean up, such workers should demand payment up front.
You are talking as if those workers worked for free..... Natural disasters can happen anywhere in world not only in Dubai...😮😮😮😮
even they do not respect labors . no holidays no welfare in place. working 50 degree and due to cloud seeding now it could goes beyond 60 degree during summer. no water for animals . cats and birds outside too.
those workers are still mostly there. They can't leave.
@@dsa4931 Many of the workers who built their city didn't get paid. It was huge international scandal 20 years ago. Many were trapped there as they had no money to get back home.
@@Jessie-le5mv your comment makes no sense
Basically desert , concrete,no sewerage,cloud seeding , rain don’t mix , simple
Cloud seeding cannot cause this, but bad planning and maintenance will.
...but there was no cloud seeding 75 years ago. And this kind of situation happened even before all those structures were built.
Actually it was because of cloud seeding. And the government admitted it.
@@vagabond4life not even remotely so. Don't believe everything you hear. Do you know the science of cloud seeding?

OH, you made me feel guilty that I had' not considered them. People in the countryside are very vulnerable.
1B$ is nothing much comparing to what they waste.
That is a fart in the ocean for Dubai
Fairplay to them I say, richest country in the world.

One year of rain in 24hrs
And less than 24hrs previously, 7 rain producing cloud seeding planes took to the sky over Dubai. But The Sun doesn’t think it’s worth mentioning. 😂
Luckly they don't get much rain in one year.
Oh!!
It only ran 2 or 3 days in a year there, little rain causes small floddin there because there are no drainages system, even canals on the streets.
no sewage system. have to loveeee it
@Marigold-yx3lwDo you even know what a sewage system is? 😂😅😂😅😂😂😅😅😂
@Rubalix I think he meant drainage system 😅
Which is true they don't have one because of the sand.
It would block it immediately.
@@lucapuzzoli8363some areas have no sewage system which combined with floods it's messy.

We don't need sewage system. We are a clean people and anyway it rains a lot in western countries so water is a blessing from Allah.

This was forseen some years ago when I read an article about Dubai's lack or poor drainage .
Yep, the Burj Khalifa has trucks that take away 15 tonnes a day of sewage 🤷🏾♂️
@@TayWoode apparently that is a hoax. Some years ago, some places did have sewerage trucks but the Burj Khalifa has been connected to the sewerage system since day one.
Now they will understand how to live without clean water, electricity and food. God is reminding them... They didnt helped the people in need in a nearby country... So its a moment to think about it
Was it god reminding you how intellectually challenged you are when you lost your loved ones, or perhaps supernatural had nothing to do with it and you have nothing but yourself to blame for your stupidity?

I have seen on other videos that Dubai plays chemically with the clouds above the country to create rain. Maybe that play went completely wrong this time.

@@michaeld5888 Yeah ...but they dont build them IN the sea .
Dubai property prices must be worth less now. They concreted over desert sand without storm drains while cloud seeding with technology usa sold them
Those were natural supercells, not cloud seeding. Problem is lack of infrastructure and preparation for such a rare event.

No proper drainage system, no trees and everything artificial, what do you expect wheh nature hits back. Feel sorry for those who perished.
It's been the worst rain in 75 years.
What caused it in 1949? There was nothing artificial back then.
It's a desert to begin with... Wat did u expect?
@@aceer6331 Las Vegas is also a desert
@thedoctor649 it didn't necessarily rain like that in 1949. That's just when they started keeping records.

Yes, it must be hard for people to get to a mosque to pray. The government should help them because that's what's important. Maybe have boat shuttles or something with special shut in ones for the women.

All gonna be shipped to Europe as a bargain deal 😂. I guarantee.

They knew a storm was coming, I seriously doubt they used seeding here
@@philipaudsley9335 i prefer balls seeding
It's time to spend a few billion $$ to construct an adequate drainage system and a canal to the nearest natural body of water.
with the city already this size, you cant spend just mere "few" billions $$ to construct drainage... it is more like dozens and dozens of billions of $$😂.
No they invest in Islamic ideology all over the world trust me ..The poison ..
From Albania
The nearest body of water is the sea and it's at the same level as the land so u see the problem with that
@@thedoctor649Situated near sea level, at 16 meters above, a network of canals and drainage systems could be feasible. However, the current cost would be exorbitant, as it would necessitate the demolition of some existing roads and buildings. Typically, canals and drainage systems are integrated into the initial city planning, rather than after a city has been established.
It's too close to sea level for naturally draining flood canals. Most of these Gulf cities are built on intertidal flats. A more effective (and more characteristic for these insanely rich oil states) method might be a storm drain network that dumps into massive underground cisterns farther inland, which they can draw from later for water in the summer.
I heard they're getting more rain soon . The machine broke i heard
Rain machine broke, come back later
there was a whole generation of middle class people in the 2000s that went to dubai on vacation and thought that made them so much better than any other family.
I know 😂😂😂 the rich ignorant went there first then the rest of them 😂
Worse engineered storm ever
HAHAHA 🤣
They can afford it.
No one is powerful Above
God May God Forgive them
Ameen and protect them.
They did build the tallest building in the world and then needed hundreds of tankers every day to take away the sewerage, so drainage and waste disposal is not high on their list of priorities.
That's because they are a clean people.
It should be now, but I'll bet it won't be.
There's a sewer system they've been building out for like the last 15 years which is nearly complete. It doesn't double as a storm drain though.
Looks the battlefield 2042 in real life 💀
No rich country in the eyes of
Rain Vs concrete... Rain won
Doesn't matter when huge parts of the UK were flooded ? But a foreign country FFS
Bloody foreigners
sad to see that it mainly affects normal people, none of elites
Will we all be getting ads now asking us to donate and help and send money since they’re so poor? 🤔

How wonderful - they get to use those famous Rolls Royce umbrellas.
It’s almost as if spraying loads of chemicals into clouds 🌧️ to generate rainfall had negative effects lmao 😂
When you have no rain = climate change

It's how it occurs, extreme weather events are typically due to climate change. This is an extreme event.
Well yep, the predicted extreme weather warned by scientists, so what you point?
Yeah. How can we climate change deniers possibly win????
Look out for the Dubai gold medalists in the forthcoming OLYMPIC rowing and canoeing events!!! 😂
All those ferraris, rollers and lamboughinis under water. My heart bleeds.....😂
What gets me is tgat with all that money, they had no indication that this unusual heavy storm was on it's way. Where were the weather men....... asleep I suppose.
When i was in Saudi, Libya Dubai UAE during 80's, 90's & 20's, i never experienced such floods, everything was pleasant during my work/stay on those countries.
But now it's horrible things happened nowadays. Well technology of a man can change everything. Today, man can make an artificial storms, rains, earthquakes, tornadoes and etc.
'make an artificial storms, rains, earthquakes, tornadoes' oh really. For the benefit of us all. Could you kindly elaborate please ?
@@littlebearsparty4323 I guess u were not born yesterday.
Nature will react. Building land in sea and sea in land!!!
WEATHER ALTERING CHEMICALS WERE USED
Dubai's Burj Khalifa doesn't have a sewage system - so trucks pump out human waste every day. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and cost $130 billion to make but it is not connected to Dubai's sewage system and so every day a platoon of trucks queue up to remove its human waste, they thought that it was cheaper then building a sewage connector line. The plan was to finally connect it to their sewer/storm drainage system next year in 2025. The tanker trucks in the video are the sewer trucks draining the flood waters.
when the water levels' rise...it will seep from the bottom. floating hi-rises!
Now they know what the UK goes through every week.
Should not have played around with cloud seeding. Plus they need to build proper street drainage and more green spaces.
The new Venice.
The loss seems way more than few billions dollars.
Build drainage system and dams. Save the water dont waste it.
Flooding is bad because there's no place to put a dam. A drainage system would have to flow inland away from the coast, probably to gigantic underground cisterns.
Dubai have admited to messing with the weather to make it rain !!!! This is what it has done to their weather system 😢😢😢
Lol..really? Show us the proof
😅some body of them got carried away or got left without payment 😬
@@BBAKER22cloud seeding, it's a fact mate looks it up, they seeded too much.
@@BBAKER22watch the “Redacted “ Video on this . They conducted 7 cloud seeding flights , this is the result. You need to open your eyes more.
LOL
Problem for Arabia is that originally there was normal top soil and hills. Over millions of years that was washed away. The land level is almost same as sea level. Concrete city means land drainage is non existent. The minor drainage system could not cope, so overflowed. The work to fix this with new drains and pumps is costly, and there will be more regular monsoon rains. So many billions need to be spent.
Why not build an infrastructure to protect from rain, and other disasters. Concrete buildings don't look good. Sewage protectors, vents to drain water. Barriers to protect water from flooding the cities. Millionaires didn't think about infrastructure, just building luxury buildjngs!
They havent any sewage system in Dubai
It's why they don't eat pigs
South Louisiana native here, and a hurricane specialist and flood specialist. I want to take a moment to ask a question that I even ask people here that recieves weather reports....where in hell are people going in these cars???

The greatest insult you can give someone: 'You seem like the sort of person who goes on vacation to Dubai'
drainage needs to be resolved
does drainage in the UK , Europe and US stop the flooding? I have seen flooding in all of those locations. We had up to 13 inches of rain in less than 18 hours in some areas of the UAE. Drains were not going to stop that from flooding in some areas.
From the desert to the sea
Besides physical flood control, Dubai government could also improve their public communication skills. Like temporary signs on the ground would help a lot, instead of figuring out the detours published through inaccurate mapless postings on its social media accounts.
Oh heck they can afford it a million times a billion dollars 😂
you can print the money, but you still have to do the work and come up with the material

Same happened in Kuwait, November, 1997. Unbelievable amount of rain fell in a few hours, over-powered the drainage system, knocked out power system. Didn't take long for them to recover.
Hardly apocalyptic. Unusual at best.
