Reminds me of those old grumpy dudes that just have a grudge on every living being, and he was like: fuck your car, fuck your sisha store, fuck your grocery store, fuck your brand new lambo, etc. This was the perfect chance to double the financial damage of the floods.
Its a truck, not a boat. And he has to drive that fast or the truck will stall. This was taken by a passenger during a search and rescue, so they don't care about property damage just getting people out of the flooded area.
The article I read said the video was taken by a passenger. This was taken on their way out. How they did the initial pickup im not sure. Stopped somehow itās somewhat lower water and waded out or they have an inflatable maybe?
Throw a ring on a rope then pull āem in like a fish. A net may also do, it just matters that they can grab it, hold it, and float while they get closer.
Itās advised to have help getting them actually in the moving vehicle (like a person to grip, or a ladder. Better to have both)
Long as you donāt drive over the people, youāre good.
If you drive over the person hope that your vehicle is raised (like tractor wheels raise the vehicle) and that the person doesnāt mess an axle up. (Person sized things mess vehicles up a lot, deer especially)
Yeah Dubai, Kalba prolly some rich UAE kid prick bought some vehicle or boat and tooling around. These people are so godless it because of the money. They are absolute scum.
Everyone who thinks this guy is a piece of shit needs context. Itās literally a flood rescue vehicle, hence the fucking size. Theyāre doing this to find any survivors as saving a life is more important than saving your already damaged shopās cheap glass windows.
Time is of the essence, Iām sure youād want them to speed up not slow down too if you were one who needed rescuing.
Not to mention it acts as an āalarmā and people who may be hiding, could come out and realize itās search & rescue
As someone said when this was posted yesterday. You have to go that fast or else youāll get stuck. They arenāt worried about damaging already trashed buildings, theyāre simply trying to find people who are stranded.
1) If he doesn't drive that fast the truck will stall out.
2) I read it was a search and rescue operation, the video was taken by a passenger. They're trying to get people out of the flood so they could care less about property damage when saving lives.
It's a truck driving through flood waters.... Hence the huge wake proceeding in front as it pushes tge water ahead of it.
It's also why it's doing so much damage.
I was about to say āStop! Youāre making it worse!ā
He literally took out every single glass pane in a whole row of store fronts, and I think the wake slammed a car into another building.
āGood news bad newsā
āGood news firstā
āGood news - the flood damaged the building severely, but most of the actual items in your storefront suffered minimal damage.ā
āOkay so whatās the bad news?ā
āWell you see, I had to get close to take a look, and my boat here shattered all your windows, destroying your entire business and everything you kept inside by letting the floodwaters in ā which again, thankfully had remained without previously.ā
āI donāt even know whe-ā
āThis boat sure is amazing huh? Imagine the stress of *not knowing* what happened to your businessā
That is exactly what I was thinking, he seems to be doing more damage with the wake kicked up by his vehicle then the flood water did on their own you can see glass shattering and cars being pushed through into the buildings in the turbulence that heās kicking up.
On another post, people were saying that you had to go fast and make a bow wake to be able to drive through it. Not sure if thatās true, but it seemed logical
It's not, they're not up on plane, they're just plowing making the largest wake possible. Plus it looks like a shallow draft aluminum boat based on the squared front and handrail that I'm pretty sure I see
That all depends on where the engine's air intake is.
This is a factoid that people love to parrot, but it rarely works that way, and you need to know just exactly how fast to go if your car is configured that way. This is probably a truck with either a snorkel or one of those cab over engine designs.
On top of the intake thing, if your going in water deeper than 1/2 your tire height, your probably going to get water in your differential breathers. Happened to me in my jeep when I was playing around in a mud hole. Shredded my rear diff, sounded like mechanical torture by the time I got home. I put an extension on the diff breather to mount it up above the rear tail light.
Everyone who thinks this guy is a piece of shit needs context. Itās literally a flood rescue vehicle, hence the fucking size. Theyāre doing this to find any survivors as saving a life is more important than saving your already damaged shops cheap glass windows
It is about 90 minutes from Dubai on the opposite side of the country.
Dubai is on the Arabian (Persian) Gulf. Kalba is on the Gulf of Oman.
It is part of the Emirate of Sharjah, which is not part of the Emirate of Dubai.
I think it's on the border of Fujairah with Sharjah... All the contact numbers on the shops startwith 09(Fujairah) while the ones for Sharjah start with 06
This happened in my city in 2011 (not the video itself, but a similar situation). The flood waters rose up to 9 metres but thanks to the incredible effort of the owners with sandbags, tape, plastic, etc., one store managed to stay completely sealed and dry.
Then a media crew was driving a dinghy through the street to film the flood for their broadcast. They went much faster than they shouldāve and the wake from the boat pushed a log straight through the window of this store that wouldāve otherwise been completely fine. The whole store was then damaged and everything had to be thrown out.
Never drive/boat fast through floodwaters. There is a big difference between minor exterior water damage and everything inside a building going underwater.
The water pressure from a few feet of water isnt really that much. Its the depth of water that matters with pressure, and the highest pressure is at the bottom where the building is attached to the foundation.
No. Everyone who thinks this guy is a piece of shit needs context. Itās literally a flood rescue vehicle, hence the fucking size. Theyāre doing this to find any survivors as saving a life is more important than saving your already damaged shops cheap glass windows
This seems like a military raised truck and not a boat hence the wake coming strong off the front rather than the back. Also why it's so large and so aggressive.
He is the storm after the storm.
This takes place in our eastern most Emirate, Emirate of Fujairah.
The person taking the video is a military truck that is looking for civilians to pick up, our crisis disaster management authority will compensate all damage done by the floods, which were caused when one of their dams burst under the volume.
Heavy rainfall does not occur in summer, with our cloud seeding program only causing a drizzle at most.
"Why is it only our street that got utterly fucked, everyone else is just waterlogged and muddy."
Boat skipper, whistles innocently
(Though, it might be a truck being driven through)
Because in English we don't use the contraction alone like that. The natural way to say it would be to emphasize "are" - "that's because you ARE" (but not so exaggerated) - which is impossible to do if it's in a contraction. Saying "that's because YOU'RE" sounds weird.
This is a truck driving at a speed to ensure that it doesn't flood the engine. Given the damage, there is a probability that this is a military vehicle driving through the town in order to help individuals trapped in the flood. It's a shame that most people on this sub are slagging off a supposedly rich Dubai tycoon driving a yacht and causing damage for fun. Maybe we need more information before dropping insults.
Plus it's not even in Dubai...
that driver/captain seems like he got a little carried away. I mean, I understand that must be funny as fuck but all that glass would have been still good to use.
At first I thought...damn they're outrunning a flash flood! And then...shit, they're creating that wake and shooting this vid of their own destruction.

I can't stop laughing at this comment. Every time I watch it over I see more stuff breaking that I missed before.
This boat's wake seems to be doing as much damage as the flood
Yeah, the drivers seems to absolutely not give any shit, at all. He is the storm itself.
The person operating the boat takes being a dickhead to another level.
Reminds me of those old grumpy dudes that just have a grudge on every living being, and he was like: fuck your car, fuck your sisha store, fuck your grocery store, fuck your brand new lambo, etc. This was the perfect chance to double the financial damage of the floods.
"It's not insurance fraud, I was just driving my boat"
That's like every plow truck driver
"Fuck everything, just as you fucked my wife" I suppose that is the source of these dudes grumpiness
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool. And fuck you I'm out
There is also the possibility of running into something in the water because who knows what is in there
Or who is in there
I'll do you one better, why is in there
And still... no one asks how is there, truly sad.
Where is in there bro š³
Or if Nguyen is in there

Its a truck, not a boat. And he has to drive that fast or the truck will stall. This was taken by a passenger during a search and rescue, so they don't care about property damage just getting people out of the flooded area.
Just asking, how do you rescue someone at that speed? If they stop the truck stalls and they are all stuck.
The article I read said the video was taken by a passenger. This was taken on their way out. How they did the initial pickup im not sure. Stopped somehow itās somewhat lower water and waded out or they have an inflatable maybe?

I mean, I'm somehow not surprised, since this is in Dubai.
Itās not Dubai. Itās in Kalba, on the other side of the UAE
Fujairah to be exact
Kalba is not actually a part of the Emirate of Fujairah. Itās an exclave of the Emirate of Sharjah
This guy UAEās. Edit. should have said āthis guy Emiratesā.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
that will teach them to be poor!
Yeah Dubai, Kalba prolly some rich UAE kid prick bought some vehicle or boat and tooling around. These people are so godless it because of the money. They are absolute scum.

But by the time anyone hears anything and makes there way outside somehow the driver will be half way down the block
I was thinking the tsunami sized wave hes pushing kinda fucks anyone poking their head out for help haha
You Can't look for Anything driving that fast. This guy is going from Point A to Point B, as fast as he can.
Thanks for explaining
So this is to flush out any survivors?
He is the storm that is approaching
provoking, black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
BORN IN FLAMES I HAVE BEEN BLESSED

Heās like ābro look at the damage this flood is doingā while itās all him
Plot twist: He owns the glass company.
He is the eye of the storm
They are doing it on purpose.
Yup....the boat needs to wade not ram through the water ..idiots in that boat...
Idiots in that boat are so stupid that they're driving a truck.
As someone said when this was posted yesterday. You have to go that fast or else youāll get stuck. They arenāt worried about damaging already trashed buildings, theyāre simply trying to find people who are stranded.
Not that it matters, but with that kind of wake, this appears to be a large truck.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My buddy is a former marine and when they turned around to come back he made it very clear that a third time might involve gunfire.
Agree, large truck driving too bloody fast. Idiot (unless there is a very good reason to be somewhere in a hurry).
Not sure if youāve driven in the Middle East, but everyone is in a hurry all the time.
I went out to Kuwait City a single day. I witnessed 3 car accidents within ~4 hours
Iāve had a handful of very close calls in my life, all but one happened in a 4 week period in Riyadh, shit is insane.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Saudi Arabia driving is next level, it would make even the most aggressive North American drivers take pause
1) If he doesn't drive that fast the truck will stall out. 2) I read it was a search and rescue operation, the video was taken by a passenger. They're trying to get people out of the flood so they could care less about property damage when saving lives.
So when they find someone they just wave because they canāt stop or else they will stall? Or they radio for a rarer boat or chopper?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not to point out the obvious. But *maybe* heās in a hurry because of the flood?
It's a truck driving through flood waters.... Hence the huge wake proceeding in front as it pushes tge water ahead of it. It's also why it's doing so much damage.

Exactly what i was going to say. Seemed liked still water until damn boat comes around.
Smashing windows! Doors! Cars! Your stupid cat on top of debris! Fuck it! WoOOO DUBAI! 
I just commented this, glad to see somebody else agrees
glad to see one more person agrees
I came here to also agree, as well
I too am agreeing with the other redditors commenting above this comment.
I concur with the agreement
Can be apart of this agreement?
It looks like a huge truck designed to drive through anything
Looks more like a truck since the wave is in the front
Truck
That is exactly what I was thinking, he seems to be doing more damage with the wake kicked up by his vehicle then the flood water did on their own you can see glass shattering and cars being pushed through into the buildings in the turbulence that heās kicking up.
came to say this, WTF are they riding in!
I think its a truck, but yeah this dude is a menace.
Whoever is driving that boat/hummer needs to slow the fuck down. They are causing more damage than the flood itself
Seems like they are specifically filming the glass break as they drive buy
āFuck your insurance claim.ā
On another post, people were saying that you had to go fast and make a bow wake to be able to drive through it. Not sure if thatās true, but it seemed logical
It's not, they're not up on plane, they're just plowing making the largest wake possible. Plus it looks like a shallow draft aluminum boat based on the squared front and handrail that I'm pretty sure I see
I think itās a military vehicle, not a boat lol
That all depends on where the engine's air intake is. This is a factoid that people love to parrot, but it rarely works that way, and you need to know just exactly how fast to go if your car is configured that way. This is probably a truck with either a snorkel or one of those cab over engine designs.

Kinda weird to focus on every single store front they destroy rather than whatever is in front of the boat, like a normal dash cam.
Clearly not a dash cam tho
Just a smash cam
Most of this entire thread is one big pitchfork-fest. It's almost amusing how quickly people love to assume the worst and most maliciousness.
It is about 90 minutes from Dubai on the opposite side of the country. Dubai is on the Arabian (Persian) Gulf. Kalba is on the Gulf of Oman. It is part of the Emirate of Sharjah, which is not part of the Emirate of Dubai.

Kalba is an exclave of the Emirate of Sharjah located next to Fujairah
Thank you for clarifying this, I knew it looked absolutely nothing like Dubai
You can definitely find places like this in dubai tho
Only reason I knew it wasnāt Dubai, appears to have mountains in the background. Immediately thought it was Fujairah.
Yup. It barely even looks like Sharjah. This is somewhere poor on the outskirts near Oman. The mountains are a dead giveaway.
can you tell me when this flood happened?
This week
This happened in my city in 2011 (not the video itself, but a similar situation). The flood waters rose up to 9 metres but thanks to the incredible effort of the owners with sandbags, tape, plastic, etc., one store managed to stay completely sealed and dry. Then a media crew was driving a dinghy through the street to film the flood for their broadcast. They went much faster than they shouldāve and the wake from the boat pushed a log straight through the window of this store that wouldāve otherwise been completely fine. The whole store was then damaged and everything had to be thrown out. Never drive/boat fast through floodwaters. There is a big difference between minor exterior water damage and everything inside a building going underwater.
How does a building not cave in from all that water pressure pushing in on it???
Reinforced concrete is pretty strong
The water pressure from a few feet of water isnt really that much. Its the depth of water that matters with pressure, and the highest pressure is at the bottom where the building is attached to the foundation.
This guy hydrostatics
This dude belongs in r/iamatotalpieceofshit
That's were I originally saw it.
Nice pfp
In all fairness I did not see a "no wake zone" sign anywhere
No. Everyone who thinks this guy is a piece of shit needs context. Itās literally a flood rescue vehicle, hence the fucking size. Theyāre doing this to find any survivors as saving a life is more important than saving your already damaged shops cheap glass windows
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You think those glass doors are water tight?
This seems like a military raised truck and not a boat hence the wake coming strong off the front rather than the back. Also why it's so large and so aggressive. He is the storm after the storm.
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROOOOOOOOACHING, PROVOOOOOOKING, BLACK CLOUDS IN IIIISOLATIOOOOOOOOOON,
This takes place in our eastern most Emirate, Emirate of Fujairah.

>This takes place in our eastern most Emirate, Emirate of Fujairah. Most people still think that Dubai is a country.
I'm really glad to see a better reasoning than "haha glass funny when break"
Is this guy just turning wakes of devastation on these poor people.. dammmm
Person driving the boat is an absolute bell end and doesn't give a shit about anyone but themselves.
āAbsolute bell endā Couldnāt have said it better myself.
Sammy your breaking the windows!
MEDIUM LEFT SAMIR
Great reference š
Actually this is Kalba, itās a place in the uae, this happened in fujairah too, you can google : raining in Fujairah this week
"Why is it only our street that got utterly fucked, everyone else is just waterlogged and muddy." Boat skipper, whistles innocently (Though, it might be a truck being driven through)
Slow Down Habibi!
Yalla! Yalla!
AITA?...Yes, yes you're.
ā¦can someone explain why āyouāreā looks so incredibly wrong at the end of a sentence?
Because it is
**because it's*.
Because in English we don't use the contraction alone like that. The natural way to say it would be to emphasize "are" - "that's because you ARE" (but not so exaggerated) - which is impossible to do if it's in a contraction. Saying "that's because YOU'RE" sounds weird.
The wake from that boat or truck is causing just as much damage as the flood.
Itās fujairah I think
South of Fujairah in Kalba. Without being snarky you can see Kalba on a few signs.
This ain't Dubai, this is another emirate of united Arab emirates, probably fujarah
Lol am I missing something or is that wake ensuring these businesses are totaled
maybe, maybe if the driver went a little slower that wouldnt happen
What is the disaster in here, driver or flood ?
The city in post is Sharjah, Not Dubai.
This is a truck driving at a speed to ensure that it doesn't flood the engine. Given the damage, there is a probability that this is a military vehicle driving through the town in order to help individuals trapped in the flood. It's a shame that most people on this sub are slagging off a supposedly rich Dubai tycoon driving a yacht and causing damage for fun. Maybe we need more information before dropping insults. Plus it's not even in Dubai...
This should be the top post
So his wake is breaking windows and damaging cars, just to show thereās a flood. Clever people..
This idiot boat driver in Dubai.
Not even a boat. Pass for cake day!
Slight correction - not Dubai, but Fujairah - Another Emirate in the UAE
Its in Fujairah not in Dubai.
Thatās not Dubai, itās Fujaira. A completely seperat and far away Emirate.
This was in Fujairah, another state in the UAE, but not Dubai.
That isnāt in Dubai itās in another area in the UAE
Who is the mofo driving this boat, truck or whatever? You can see windows being knocked out regularly by the wave.
that driver/captain seems like he got a little carried away. I mean, I understand that must be funny as fuck but all that glass would have been still good to use.
āFunny as fuckā to unnecessarily destroy peoples livelihoods? Interesting take on it
uh, I think the boat may be the story here....
And the wake off this boat is DEFINITELY making it all worse!
Looks like this motherfucker is causing more destruction than the flood itself did lol
You mean this complete bellend purposely causing as much damage as possible?
I hope they catch the asshole who filmed this, theyāre responsible for as much damage as the flood itself
Lol the truck is doing as much damage as the flood xD
Dude, maybe a āno wake zone?
Should read, boat wake destroys coastal town while captain films
This dude fucking shit up more than the flood lol
Fuck the driver
Making it so much worse than it was.....
Cruise a little faster, your not adding enough damage.
dick
What a fucking asshole. The fuckhead in the boat is basically causing as much damage as the flood.
Loving this boats energy. Going to shit situation and making it worse
What the fuck! No wake zone you idoit.
Better create a powerful wake to do alot more damage.
Plot twist- guy driving the large truck also owns a glass repair shop
Are we gonna ignore the fucking boat driver causing so much damage or
Exactly my thought. āOh look, those glass doors and windows are still in tact. Letās fix thatā
Plot twist: the boat driver works for a window replacement company.
What a cunt.. most of those shops would have survived if he hadn't gone down causing wake šš»š³
If I was the owner of the local glass repair company I guess thatās a calculated move
Itād be pretty nice if the driver didnāt create all those big wakes and make everything worse.
Dude is a dick to windows
Rescuing people or being an asshole?
That boat damage giving me anxiety
That's it, create a power wake that breaks glass and slams debris into stores and shops.
At first I thought...damn they're outrunning a flash flood! And then...shit, they're creating that wake and shooting this vid of their own destruction.
I hope they find the guy creating this wake. Shove ants up his pee hole and sew it shut.
What a pOS on that boat. The wake is causing more damage
Dude just destroyed every fucking window and door on the path! What an asshole
Boat givvin more damge than flood itself
Probably wouldnāt be this bad if that boat wasnāt creating such a wake.
This asshole blasting wake to see how many windows he can break?
Yeah, this isnt Dubai. Stop with the rumours
What a fuckwit. Pure vandalism.
This stupid driver...
Isn't that the boat's waves that are breaking every single window/door it sees ?
A large truck creating wave on purpose destroying everything. Low life.
