Stranded passengers witnessed chaotic scenes at Dubai International Airport after more than 1,200 flights were cancelled following an unprecedented storm on April 16, 2024, leading to widespread travel chaos. Authorities said the rain on April 16 was the heaviest in decades. It was the most rainfall to ever hit the UAE in a single day since records began in 1949.

Being built in in the desert they never thought they would need water drainge infrastructure.
very true
the climate changed.
I thought they building one 50 meter deep tunnel I watched video about it during lockdown
🦓😂😂😂😂😂🛶🛶🛶🛶🫶🫶🫶🤲🤲🤲
Exactly… 🤔 Lets build more shopping malls, hotels and luxury places, and not worry about building a proper sewage infrastructure and drainage system…… MORONS!!! As usual!!!!
Meanwhile people in the business lounges be vibing
Money cant buy anything these rich people got humbled by nature's fury.
true
You may say money cannot buy drainage system.habibi come to dubai😄😄😄😄😄
Laughs in Burl Khalifa 😂😂😂
Who do building 😂😂😂infrastructure without drainage 😂😂😂😂habibi degree 📜
Thats what really got me confused though is there no way to make drainage?
@@ladyofwinterfel8143Because the last time it rained so strongly was like 75 years ago. 😂
Habibi went to dubai and experience this back in september. It is a case of he who shouts loudest gets things done in situatuons like this ....
“Am not able to get home”!! Stop complaining. Its these adults who don’t have patience and whine like kids. Everyone is affected by these extraordinary conditions. Just wait, its not an earthquake, you are not dying.
Thank you ! People are complaining like little kids....
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry, what do the people at the airport expect when the runway is flooded. just look outside.
Use of social media?
Thy could have informwd passengers that the flights r cancelled bt they didn't even bothered.thy prefer to disappear n leave passengers stranded.
Do passengers expect their flight to be on time when no crew members can get to the airport ? @@ummeayaan9985
They think they're *special*. Wrong!!
I hope UAE becomes green with regular rains
hard for concrete to turn green
build the FLOOD CONTROL DAM WITH CONCRETE
It's incredible that dessert flood!
Wiser should aware all
Phynonmina on the world
Blessed to righteous n merciful 🙏💖
Arabia needs to go green with regular rain, it will better the environment there
@@_aidid regular flood
255 is normal on asean, but maybe they dont have water system to anticipate that rain
Yea they only want to look “prosperous” from outside but ignore the most basic things
@@Ultra_Kumano
@@Ultra_Kuma bro its a dessert
They take the p00p by trucks, what a futuristic city
🤣🤣🤣
@@Hkchinese888 lol they don’t anymore, they now use pipes,
Glad i chose qatar airways rather than emirate for transit flight yesterday
thought Dubai was an extremly advanced city, I guess it wasn't
I don't think Dubai's water system should be the main focus here. Yes, they should have anticipated for unprecedented rainfalls. However recently not only in Dubai but on the other side of the world the climate are starting to get worsen, which is the real result of global warming
🙈🙄
🐑🐑🐑
It's nature's wrath, there's nothing you can do. How much you wanna go home.
You got that right
My thought exactly..
Its better safe stranded than sorry
they just went there at the wrong time😂
Took the words right outta my mouth 😐😐😐
It’s man made clouds and rain! Not nature silly. No rain in deserts.
SADIQ why did you put too much salt on the clouds
hahahah Classic. Me and friend were literally talking about this. Artificial rain gone wrong!
Walahi that is not how it happened mustapha, walahi.
This has nothing to do with cloud seeding! Get your facts straight
Some info pls
Ok let me add some sugar😂
one small reminder dont mess with the creator almighty above look what happens
Amen
🫶⛈️🤲🛶🛶🛶☕️☕️☕️☎️🤲🤲🤲🐪
Now sinks into sinkholes
Why would yhe creator be angry? Theres no reason at all
Its called climate change
@@ladyofwinterfel8143the situation in palestine
Worst airport in the world. Never again
Dear stranded passenger you have a home to go home to.
some people have lost their houses here in Dubai.
So what? It's their problem not yours.
😂@@Mr.Jack09.
@@Mr.Jack09.wow..hope it never happens to you are your family. Dont wish it for anyone. Also for the stranded people and elders en children and animals its traumatic not knowing anything, wothout food or information or a bed or when you can go home at your Safe place. Praying everyone Will be ok and taken care of in their situation as soon as possible
They shouldn't have messed with the weather they cloud seeded which caused this
@@rsa.6229 are you the one that's suffering? I don't think it's your problem.
ANYONE QUESTIONED why the designers and builders never allowed for this sort of event; it is well documented that when it does rain in dry/arid/desert areas it does so with a vengence! Think about it, most airports operate in wind and rain....
That's because they were only interested in the money that they were going to be making the builders, the contractor, and the Airport,
and i almost couldnt get home from Kuala Lumpur to Sarawak due to the volcano situation yesterday..all flights to/from Borneo are grounded…
Chill, it's not the end of the world, presume u can hold ur breath and SWIM?
Habibi
Dont come to dubai 😂😂
If this is not climate change, I don't know what else to say.
it‘s not
There is heavy rainfall somewhere in the world every day, but sometimes it also hits regions with average rainfall such as Dubai and the UAE.
I live in Bali and we have very heavy rains in a few hours a few times a year... it's absolut normal and no climat change.
Cloud seeding not climate change
@@ursdreyer3122 This is not the only aberrant climate event in recent decades. But I guess deniers are going to deny.
@@ursdreyer3122 bro come on, Bali located on equator it's a tropical island it's normal with random rain. We're talking about desert here 🤦🏼♂️
Zendaya: Water falls from the sky on your planet?!
Im from Kashmir. .❤ phlastin 💖😢😢😢this iz for Allah knows everything.............🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇮🇶💕💕💕💕
Don't mess up with Mother Nature!
Squakin 'bout 10 inches of rain and closing the airport. You should see it at TIA during Hurricane season. Makes this look like a child's party.
Lol, what you say, you got that right
A dumb land with no drains
A dumb brain with no cells
Why you there
A dumb brain with no cells
Two filipino girls died poor souls
Very sad indeed.
No they did not , 0 deaths weee reportedv
It is , way many deaths than they reported but they don't want that to get out
Eu queria que fosse muçulmanos 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What you think that's funny because they was trans
Dubai have that money.
Why not making underground water base to save that water.Dubai need water.Dubai have always shortes of water.
Bro has NEVER stepped foot on UAE before 💀
@@firaswijayakoi* 58 minuten geleden
Bro...why they want that undersea water train from Mumbai to Dubai.
They want water transported from Mumbai to them.
They barely got their piped sewage system installed after like 20 years. A citywide rain capture storm drain system would be novel, expensive, not used often, and doesn’t attract foreign investors.
How can any city, especially an expensive one not have proper drainage system to cope with heavy rainfall?
It’s desert. Not expected.
They’re not expecting God’s displeasure, either.
More to come...Much more.
Worldwide.
As it has been. But more heavily, more often.
People need to turn to the Only Hope they have.
*Jesus.* ♥✝
While He’s still easier to be found.
They don't even have a proper sewage system lol
@@sonneversets3530 What a dumb thing to say. Hahaha take your religious bs elsewhere.
Not even in LA back in January, but government gave assistance during recovery. Even to file taxes 6 months extension
That's what happens when you focus too much on making the airport look spotless and fancy instead of actually implementing alternative safety measures to prevent these kinds of things from happening...
Same for their skyscrapers. No sewage system!!
Who would have thought this would happen to Dubai? That was unprecedented.
Well, who would have thought we will not heed the warnings of global warming and rapid climate change that it will result to sudden shifts in climate.
It's a desert
Couple of years ago, European nations faced unprecedented heat and road melted. You can also say the same for Europe!
Dubai is not a place where it rains heavy every year, just like Europe is not a place where it gets super hot every year!
Poor rich people😢
No city in the EU could manage 25 cm of rainfall in a single day, let alone a desert city. And yes, this was the work of Mother Nature, not cloud seeding. Even in the Netherlands, renowned for its water management, there were challenges in separating sewage from rainwater during heavy rainfall in 1992. It's not that uncommon.
So, let's stop gloating just because some people in Dubai drive bigger cars than you do. OK?
EVERYBODY LISTEN TO THIS MAN
less emission
Rain in the desert? What is UAE doing with the weather?
They cloud seeded
@@jusraynedid you even hear the actual cause before blabbing everything u have seen in internet
dance powder
@@YwaimoIt was cloud seeding. Get the facts before spouting your hysteria.
@@dr.winstonsmith oh yeah? Ever heard of a country Oman? Y'all foreigners can't stand the country is rich and even come to think that they even made cloud seeds, jealousy I smell here. It was natural rain if you didn't experience it then don't talk
Well if the vacation was boring, at least you got to experience something unusual when you where leaving. Maybe something to remember.
at least this experience is not worse than taiwan's earthquake
No tree ,mostly desert !
Dubai is a rich country, i wonder what level are their drain system center? That is massive flood ever happen first time i guest
Surrounded by fill materials and you go and build so that you get flooded. Brilliant 👍.
Issurance covers??
Doubtful.
For most, anyway.
Not exactly a likely flood area.
Thought Dubai was a developed rich city with modern infrastructure
When you play too much with nature
Build better drainage instead of cartoon supervillain skyscrapers.
😂😂😂
But, for a desert, I don't think the UAE should invest on a better drainage system. As someone in the UAE, Rain is very rare and doesn't always come in gargantuan amounts.
I do not understand why they market this city as world class yet you cannot have a world class drainage system, record rainfall or not. Always plan for the unexpected
lol. Even if they had the best drainage system, it can’t drain out one year’s worth of rain. Yeah, like the world would have no more floods if every city just had better drainage! /s
@l.c.3150 142mm in 24 hours 😅 it is regular in here Australia 255 mm 24 hours, and it's average no drama. Why in Dubai because No world class drainage, just they built artificial city
@@amidnight UAE is a desert climate due to it's geographical location. Total annual precipitaiton for a desrt climate would be 0-250mm, this means that dubai is experiencing a years worth of rainfall in a day. No drainage system would be able to take a year's worth of rainfall, most are usually build to hold at most a few months worth of rainfall.
@@starlight-bq2we no you don't quite understand. 250mm is 250liters per square meter. You only need drainage to take that to a lower lying natural system. Many places in the World get such deluges. Just last week we had 150mm in 24 hrs with no damage. 12 months or 1 month is irrelevant.
@@johanroos699 I remember some southern state in US got suddenly frozen over several years back, which lead to infrastructural failure on many fronts. But US is such a modern country, the bestest of the best, how come they haven’t prepared their cities for such a scenario? Rare but still possible , after all 😂
my sisters currently has a job in a hilton hotel that opened last year i believe and she was there before it opended and the rain flooded the basement and pool room and the pumps and everything the whole basement was flooded and they had overtime like a couple hours more so they could get everything fixed after the rain stopped. it was extremly stressfull
The urban planners would now lay plans with proper drainage system while building cities
Oh my goodness
Rich people problems ..
so u still wantto come to dubai?! hahaha habibi come to dubai!! 🎵🎶
I hope the rain comes over here in south east Asia cause there's a literal heatwave that caused me 2 weeks of no school during finals, I'm not joking
Where bouts in south east Asia you from?
@@benimo6 Philippines
Can they divert to abu dhabi?
1200 cancelled flights?! 😮
This is sad and scary.
Human nature is so dramatic. All is well
When cloud seeding goes wrong
World is such a dangerous place.
Did weather forecasts predict this?
Ohhhhh, the poor tourists. 😅
Always need to be prepared for all situations and adapt.
Modern society just complains a lot.
LoL, you got that right
4000 FLIGHTS CANCELLED DELAYED OR DUSTRUBED...TAKE CARE
Had the worlds best architects there no one thought of a drainage system. smh
Never been to man made Lego blocks - prefer green nature
Too much salt in the clouds.
Now all luxury car are flooded sin city
😂
I thought the same.😂
Those *lost ppl need Jesus.* ✝
these people mistreat animals every day. I wonder how many died because they had no one to save them. RIP to all the animals that died :(
Guys this not how it looks like even thought it did flood in Dubai, they actually got rid of most water and the world’s busiest airport is now back to normall, everything is normall, and for those who are wondering this flood was not because of cloud seeding, it was natural and many countries like Oman got affected even worse 😢
Save your lies,you mean everything is back to normal from a natural disaster in 48 hours?
Save your lies to yourself and don’t mislead people.
Dude , FFS , it’s far from normal . I am stuck for the last 4 days and had my outbound flight from Dubai cancelled 4 times .
People can’t open their mouths and criticize anything in Dubai,they can only open their mouths at the dentist.
No one dares to say the truth or what’s happening with stranded people either at the airports or at their homes where there’s no power no water no food supplies,and this so called AmazingCreator is lying to their teeth and giving misleading info to helpless people.
@@MrFufu320 I am not misleading people ok first you go check the roads everything is clear, or almost clear,
Hi thats my grandmother right there in the yellow dress and reddish shawl, foreground, 1:26 (my entire family is laughing soooo hard rn)
I can provide proof yall ..
That's nice, we don't need proof.
Bad news for emirates
LoL "bad news"everything is cleared now weather and the water have been taking care of 😂
@@ChaoSTrophicS CHILL DUDE
Never to Dubai again
Ces pays ont trop exagéré. Faut revenir au désert et au chameau
Too bad especially if you are just there for a connecting flight.
You got that right
*Dubai millionaires and Billionaires, feel free to shift to Singapore* 😂😂😂
Big thanks to 3v1l Ch1n4 🇨🇳 for being the world's largest annual greenhouse gas emitter which caused climate change that led to a big flood in Dubai 🇦🇪
Do us all a favour just go back to sleep!
You need to flush your toilet
…
Oh sorry you don’t have one
Your mouth is his toilet@@fajarkurniawan9434
Without any ones help UAE govt doing amazing job no one has losted anything and dried up all the water immediately
UAE supposed to be desert?
Think again "Home sweet home"!
Climate experts baffled by this! More surprises are awaiting! How about 10000 mm rainfall in 24 hours in Newyork?😂
Nothing to do w/it.
Money doesn't help. In this situation, they're ordinary citizens, like the rest of the world.

Habibi, run from Dubai...

With its dry, rain-light environment, the UAE has been using cloud seeding since the 1990s. Is this rumor a factor? True?
It's not a rumor, it is true, but cloud-seeding did not cause this rain
Am at Dubai and it is flooding
The operations must have stopped prior to the storm as predicted earlier, then the 1000's of stranded passengers would hv not suffered and avoided airline costs, hope someone learn out of this lesson learnt!
Green Paradise
Why is it only flooding in Dubai and Oman. What about all the other states in the UAE
Well, some clouds are heavier in other places. My area had heavy rain but didn't flood like Dubai
Alllaha hifazat kare momin ke
Why dont they go to abu dhabi?
Dubai's abundant wealth should be brought to Ghana. No matter how it rains here, your investments are safe
Thank you for reporting. I could not find any coverage of this in the USA media. UAE 🇦🇪 matters.
Unprecedented....
Someone should show Maktoum how to build roads 😂😂😂. He spent a fortune on failed infrastructure!!!
Allah protect Dubai
Always Allah bless UAE
Sponge city
🤣🤣🤣
Dubai, United Arab Emirates. 🇦🇪
Self inflicted they did to many cloud seeding missions in a row
Everyone is frustrated, but it's mother nature creation. If the crew members cannot get to work at the airport because the streets, airport are flooded, how can the flight operate??? Everyone 's safely is the priority, the complaint man is not dying of medical emergency!
With the type of budget Dubai has, it will solve the problems eventually. Please understand that its natural disaster!
P/S, when we had the flooding in LA, + southern California, people were quick to blame the governor. Now central + Southern California is experiencing superbloom, wildflowers everywhere on field, even at Death Valley, one of the hottest desert 🏜️
Al Barsha is a low profile area of Dubai
This was carefully-contrived geo-engineering to keep future travellers at home. Signed-off by Sheikh Mohammed, of course.
We have waited more than 36 hours then we left without our lagguage and we don't know where are our bags now
Always use AirTags or an equivalent. Deals can be found, and battery replacement is every year or so. Gives you peace of mind.
The rain just washed out all the sins brought in to the peninsula of Arabia
