On Tuesday, Dubai experienced unprecedented flash flooding as a year's worth of rain poured down in just 12 hours, causing chaos and disruption across the city. The deluge led to roads turning into rivers, homes and businesses being inundated, and even Dubai International Airport being submerged under water.
The airport, ranked as the second-busiest in the world, was forced to halt operations for nearly half an hour due to the flooding. Massive aircraft struggled to navigate through the floodwaters, with the tarmac resembling a waterway rather than a runway.
