Gone
with the wind: Abu Dhabi Airport devastated by severe storm
10
March, 2016
When
it rains, it pours, in the case of Abu Dhabi Airport, which on
Wednesday saw roofs collapse, small planes scatter, and debris smash
into terminal doors in a heavy storm .
The
severe weather conditions forced the airport to suspend all flights
and cancel the UAE Air Expo 2016
Airport
staff and passengers looked on as wind and rain battered the airport,
causing further destruction.
In
one video, a large piece of debris smashed into a set of glass doors,
causing panic among bystanders.
A
post on a frequent flyer site called Boarding Area criticized the
UAE's infrastructure, saying the Emirates are unequipped for severe
weather. "Qatar and the UAE seem to have almost unlimited funds
for completely unnecessary construction, but can't even get basic
things right, like rain-proof buildings. Embarrassing...," it
read.
Though
the worst appears to be over, the bad weather is predicted to
continue over the next few days, though flights schedules are
expected to resume to normal.
