BRKG Massive Fire in Ajman Market, UAE
- Thread starter Sicario
- Start date
What is up with all the explosions and fires lately? Did someone leave the barn door open and all the firebugs escape?

Are you sure about that?
I wonder if three or four lorries full of fireworks are nearby...

I was just wondering the same thing, I think there is a fire in Iraq as well but this one is pretty large (and this mall has been used in TV adverts over here, it is pretty popular).Are we seeing a pattern developing?

HAPPENING NOW: Several warehouses are on fire in the city of #Najaf, Iraq. People nearby report hearing sounds similar to fireworks coming from the scene. More details to come. #FOX26AM #LIVEDESK

There are two fires now? One in UAE, and one in Iraq? Somebody has been busy!

One is interesting, two is a coincidence but three, four, five and six is a definite pattern here.

I’m confused. Are there two or three separate events? There’s a fire in an Emirates market and a fire in multiple warehouses in Najaf, Iraq. Are these the same incident?

Okay, now we're definitely at the "things that make you go hmmm" stage...

I don't think so. The UAE Market and Najaf are nearly 2,000km apart. LONG WAY AWAY!

One in Beirut. One in UAE, and One in Iraq. 3 separate incidents.

At this point there is:
1. The harbor explosion that blew up a good chunk of Beruit -mostly Syrian Christian and Shia Mulsim
2. A very large fire at a famous Mall in the UAE, a place where many ex-pats live and work (especially Europeans) - Sunni Muslim
3. A fire in Iraq at a bunch of warehouses - both Sunni and Shia areas
4. Multiple Explosions and fires all over Iran (especially electrical supply stations, probably military installations/labs, etc) that have been on-going for at least a month.
There's that's my scorecard so far, anyone else feels free to add as I don't think this is over, and yeah I see a pattern...

I heard the popping and figured it was probably propane tanks, small ones to perhaps cook food?
Hey everybody, let's go drive by that big honkin fire!

My housemate said you can add another "candidate" for the "list" at least for this fire, Saudi Arabia has been at odds with the UAE over Yemen.
That said, I am starting to think this may be a great "cover window" for anyone in the Middle East who wants to settle a score and then hide behind the general chaos...

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, it’s enemy action.

It is not that far it is only 1242mi
While working in Dubai, I was up in Sharjah a time or two checking on a couple of drilling rigs which were being worked on in Khalid port. (You can see idled jackup rigs when you zoom into the port on satellite view) I don't recall seeing this market but we swung around on the desert route to avoid the heavy traffic at the time. The main highway always was a parking lot.
Which is about 1999 km......
