Huge explosion in dubai

Post by Pash Master » Wed Mar 26, 2008 12:16 am

I woke up this morning to go to school, I go outside just about to enter the car, when I see a huge pillow of black smoke and flames rise from afar. A huge explosion happened in Dubai, which covered the entire city in black smoke. The shockwave was so hard it acutally cracked one of my windows! :eek:

Lots of weird stuff happen in dubai. I guess this should be called a 'comman sighting' over here. Oer 80 buildings have been destroyed by the flames and blast.

The explosion happened right near my house actually. I can see the smoke from here, it got much bigger.

Damn, where's my digital camera...

Pash, stay safe. I'm serious. Stay indoors. This may have been a terrorist attack.

No idea. But I'll agree to that stay indoors thing, as I've heard people say a electrical sub station may have been destroyed by the flames too. If that's the case, there's toxic gases in the air! :eek: Good thing the wind is blowing the smoke in the opisite direction from my house.

Strange thing is though, that during my 3 years in Dubai, I've seen at least 4-5 fires in the same spot. Don't know if its the same building every time, I can only tell from my house, but its always the same area. Guess their safty thing over there isn't that good. I actually managed to take a picture of it, although my camera isn't the best quality:
