Inside Dubai's major cleanup operation after city left underwater by freak rainfall
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 an airport submerged underwater, roads at a standstill and homes and businesses filled up with water as the cost of the damages begin to ramp up.
For Dubai, a years worth of rain fell in just 24-hours leaving the city woefully unprepared in infrastructure and flood prevention systems.
With the water only just beginning to clear up, Dubai is finally getting on the move again.
Billionaire businesses are desperate to reopen and recoup their losses from almost 100-hours worth of disruption but the clean up is going to continue to take its toll for a while longer, according to experts.

Maybe consider investing in some drains and a sewage system rather than just buying cars
they never thought of it when they built the city...
They really should've thought of that.😮
Maybe consider getting a few jobs before asking for benefits. Your jealousy is pathetic.
There are in the desert never anticipated this to happen
This has nothing to do with that, it's all about the unpredictibility of the weather today, it rained in one day the amount expected to one year, not surprised that sewage system in a desert country can collapse, imagine the collapse if you start having heat waves of 35C in Alaska during summer.
Moral of this story dont mess with nature doh .
The rains were natural SMH...they weren't the result of cloud seeding
YEH CLOUD SEEDING. MAN INDUCED WHETHER,
@@netad7771 Ive seen a video of them talking about it in dubi even seen the planes they used . In 2005, the UAE launched the UAE ... (WMO). In 2010, cloud seeding began as a project by weather authorities to create artificial rain. The project, which began in July 2010 and cost $11 million USD, succeeded in creating rain storms in the Dubai
@@johnydangerous4597ask any expert cloud seeding does not create such rains. Learn how cloud seeding works and most important is not even proven it's effectiveness. Small planes are used during cloud seeding operations and they can fly only in light clouds to increase precipitation. Such planes cannot go in huge rain clouds
@@netad7771they've admitted to flying cloud seeding missions the days before
What is the point of havng the biggest, the longest, the highest, the tallest etc etc when you have the lousiest drainage system in the world…
Its à désert dude
They don't expect it to rain there it's a desert. Probably a result of climate change
it will only flood when it rains
Guess they didn't think 🤔 that thru😅...
No worries, they will fix it
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $18,500 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
Amen. I believe when God blessess it exceeds beyond my expectation. I know my Father in heaven is a generous father who provides the needs of his children🥰
Every one of my prayer requests is about to manifest in the Name of Jesus I receive and connect with this message in Jesus' mighty Name Amen🔥🙏
After enduring many struggles, I am now filled with gratitude for owning a new home. My family is happy, and everything is finally falling into place.

There is nothing freak about this. They “seeded” the cloud for rain. The government should compensate the people for all the damages that the rain caused which came from their negligences.
They’ll NEVER admit it….‼️👀
SPOT ON, WELL DONE, CLOUD SEEDING, TRYING TO SAY IT IS CLIMATE CRISIS, GLOBAL WARMING. PISH
Yes , I heard that. Even after heavy rain had been forecast 😮
Seeding Clouds😂
Its not cloud seeding. Cloud seeding don't come in gargantuan amounts or with thunderstorm
Not just storm drainage, Dubai is famous for not having adequate sewerage collection and treatment. Spending 80% of investment for showoff! Further more, the city is located along ocean shoreline with a river flowing thru!!
That because it's desert and sandstorm
This reminds me of British drivers who refuse to buy snow chains for their wheels because they never need them, then every snowstorm the traffic grinds to a halt.
Their sewage collection are the porti potties aka instagram models. 😂😂
Maybe that's why cannot have adequate drainage . Climate change.
Right sewer... look at the water ... RIGHT....
A city that is RICH.but no drainage?? OMG
That water is actually a blessing if they could collect, store it, and purify it like they do with salt water. FRESH water.
Cloud seeding gone wrong?
That is what I said
100%. weather manipulation is old tech
Maybe that, but i believe it has something to do with the global climate crisis too. Weather seems slightly off in the past years since pandemic.
you see results over around world, in same time flooded many places, yes UAE affected climate change with seeding clouds
Sure is.
No matter what mankind things about their establishments, we all are diminish with respect to the nature.
Who builds a super city with no emergency drainage system to support it?

It is a desert Who thought that they will have this rain
Dumb Arabs 😂😂😂😂
@@oussamaalaoui9121 every desert can have occasional or rare massive flooding event these events are even mentioned in the Bible and Quran so they should have known. These people are Muslims do they not read their own holy book?
I feel for these people. They are obviously not the multibillionaires in fancy high rise penthouses, etc. Hope they're helping out the people who lost so much.❤
Which multi billionaire, aside from the royal family, actually lives in Dubai?
All the money in the World but nowhere for the rain to go unbelievable.
Seriously
😂😂😂😂
Which rain?
In western countries they built Infrastructures first before the buildings while in Dubai they built buildings first before the infrastructures. Infrastructure is more important than the beatiful buildings.
dubai doesn't typically see a lot of rain naturally so sewer systems aren't a priority, but due to cloud seeding they over flooded themselves
I worked in the Middle East for 10 years and was always on about drainage they just laughed and wasted a waste of money as far as they were concerned, and that would never ever change. They get a convoy of lorries to suck the water and dump straight in the sea.
Cloud seeding, and their aims was to crush small businesses
What's the point of doing this?@@WhiteHairRules-cu6yr
Uae was built in 50 years. I don’t think other countries are even able to do anything close to what the uae has done.
Dubai is a very. Modern Country expensive country Beautiful country but there is no Big River in the the Meddle of the City Can't make Beautiful Country if don't have a Canal BIG River once the Typon Comes the are Floating. Good Experience to Dubai
Dubai is prime example of a rich city who fail at urban planning for climate emergency in the future. A lots of city now are preparing for an unexpected future from Arizona to Singapore . We must be prepare as we won't be able to reverse global warming due to human greed
God bless you, money can't buy everything and the Arabs forget that. God's power has no comparison, and only he is powerful.
Yep
Power to cause misery for every human who ever lived.
Same like hamas didn't believe in the Karma and raped and murdered innocent Jews. Now they are suffering from their karma

First time experience now they will make buildings and roads according to rain😂
My advice to Dubai government is please reinstall bigger bore drains and build extra pumping stations around Dubai so in future all the water can be drained quickly
First built Infrastructures and then later buildings! It's Common sense!
After flooding the mould grows ....water damage to buildings like cancer
in your country there never was a flood? nice. tell me which one it is
I feel a fuel price increase loading. The world will pay for the repair work.
No they don’t need the pennys they can afford the clean up after we know they created the issue in the first place

Stirred for sure.
What a complete dump, i can't fathom why people would want to visit this place even on vacation let alone live there
I have never understood the interest that people have to go there.
Some great comments from people that can tell what’s the problem after a disaster happens. The best sewer system in the world would not have prevented a flood when confronted with what happened in Dubai.
Might of dampened the impact though, might not of been as bad if cloud seeding didn't also happen 😂
this is luxury, without any infrastructure for rain
Have you study Geography? Normal climate of a desert topography? It is a desert for a reason.
Do know that UAE is located in the desert? They have never had such rain in there life
They mase this rain because they didn't get enough rain, that why flood safety hasnt been a issue
@@joela8979You seem to not know basic things about this rain, it started in the Persian gulf naturally. cloud seeding was not done, cloud seeding enhances rain, and is done through small Cessna planes, this storm had very powerful winds those planes could not fly through so they can’t enhance the rain.

The Arabs need to stop building stupidly tall buildings and ski resorts in the desert and concentrate their money and foreign workers to build simple infrastructure such as DRAINAGE SYSTEMS! Simples.
Hell no!!! We need cheap labour. Humans have never been equal and never will be. No silly Western laws and rules. Swimming pools opened again and it’s 30 plus during the day hurray! 👍🏻😎

Where is more fun? In stupidly tall buildings and ski resorts in the desert or in DRAINAGE SYSTEMS? Ha?
And stop destroying Yemen and interfering politically in neighbouring countries
it was not a freak storm it was a product of cloud seeding congrats it worked do not think you are god
That's what happens when you dig up the sea bed to build islands, looks like nature is has responded, and it serves you right Dubai
NO city in the world could have coped with such deluge. It a very rare event to prepare. Perhaps less concretisation may have reduced the impact. Porous road surface could be considered.
Tokyo disagrees.

No problem with the system in Dubai. Sunamis make things difficult. So, they are going to clear the mess & 1 billion dollars is nothing for them. Everyone will contribute to build this city again to work with Jess clearing as well. Wishing best days again.

No drainage would save you from this type of storm . You must understand this region climate gets not such an unusual event . In Europe why don't homes have AC instead of people dying from heat? Because the environment was not so hot before

Unfortunately this is what happens when your main priority is to build a city that looks all shiny but lacks basic infrastructure, hidden infrastructure is more important than an indoor snow field in the desert, ask any other country around the world, underground infrastructure takes 30-40 years to establish, then you create the buildings

Seed the clouds they said, it'll be fine they said 🤦♂️
I dont understand why they are spending all their billions of these huge cities. When the oil and gas is gone... there will be no money... and these cities will simply be abandoned. This notion that they will become a hub for global tech/innovation just seems crazy to me.
Yea, that won’t ever happen
Hmm, think they’ve got that covered already.
@@bordersw1239they are gradually rising taxes, at certain level and with oil depletion everyone will leave

First estimated to cost around 200 billion. Now 500 billion. With a lot of people who are not beholden to the monarchy and outside the country... saying yeah... such a project would cost 9 trillion.

My advice, build a good sewerage system and provide lots of greenery in the city for cooling. This will happen more often in the future. The bigger the city, the more heat is generated. And that's what (I think) creates these terrible storms and tornadoes.
