[derangeddragon]

kukuruyuk,

It's funny that you say everyone should coexist, and then say you would genocide them all.

Isn't that a little contradictory, sir?

[korencek]

lol. it looks like a warzone.

[MF722]

There is pain and suffring thru out the world at all time.

[miserkocho]

[mightysatti]

Attn people:

Please do not put in racist comments. These would be seriously noted and removed immediately from the list.

Thanks for the cooperation.

[tmrgenc]

the biggest car accident, i have ever seen..

[heath1466]

it doesnt surprise me this happened, i've been out there twice to visit my bro so i have seen first hand how people tend to drive out there.

they literally drive bumper to bumper in all conditions and speeds,dont indicate and spend 80% of their time pressing the car horn.

if your an adrenaline junkie then try a taxi ride over there.

[pongman]

That happens a lot in California. I guess people shouldn't drive in fog. Hmmm, this is a good excuse not to go to work. "Yo bossman, there's too much fog, I can't get to work. I'll see you tomorrow"

[metalron84]

ooops

have a nice day :D

[nicegurl1990]

it's a shame people die like that ...speed is so dangrous..im a bad driver.. but i never drive more 100 km .

[Gagan1391]

Lol, so far Iv seen only or the majority are luxury cars and rims :P

[Premier141]

Thinning the herd?

I mean fuck, I've driven for over ten years without incident... Anytime i've been in heavy fog, I think to myself "Hey... I might not be able to see that far ahead of me.. Might want slow down"

just a thought.

[Karletto555]

8 people died; 80 badly wounded

[ali900]

just wow - its unbelievable to actually see this - its on BBC news live!

[nunez2s]

ok the ihnadwa dont know how 2 drive they almost killed me the other day, bes i dunno about uae

[jddh1]

If only six people died in this mess, then I'll have to say that is some good luck, because this kind of mess takes a lot more lives than just 6. I wonder though, how in the world did those cars light up? Aren't cars these days constructed so that the tank doesn't explode?

[Anotherforgottenmyth]

The fire starts from the Buring rubber from the tires...i have witnessed that my self in dubai...due to friction from the roads the tires of the vehicle just lit up...and you can notice that most of the fires are starting from the wheels in some cars that are half burned.

[jddh1]

Thanks for the clarification. I did not know that.

[khalid6591]

3 dead 247 injured !

[mattymattmattmattjr]

struggling big fellas!

[mehi]

thats sum fucked up shit, it looks liek sum ghost thing

[eyeblack42]

alright, why were we driving that fast in heavy fog?

[Clockworkforest]

All this because of Fog?

terrible accident caused thru speeding.

[XxXblackstallionsXxX]

OMG !!!

[mohdmehdi110]

You know this is really sad, but I should say that this video reminded me of the movie "Final Destination"

[zineddina]

This is very sad. I'm actually a highway safety expert from the US and the Abu Dhabi Dept. of Transport just hired me to improve their highway safety. I hope I will be able to make a difference and save many precious lives.

[dubaijazz]

God bless you.

I hope you will make a difference too.

You see how safety is really needed here.

[mark5jenny]

hope this gives those bad drivers an idea on what happens when you dont drive responsibly.

[svt007]

I think if you are reading this comment. You are just LUCKY. Thankgod for that.

[azzzoooz]

today is a varey bad day for us in the UAE

they said 3 people die

[yadissasaa]

hey GOD !!! first of all i need to say God bless who went out from this acc alive ...never mind the cars , money comes and go .

now ..you listen to me everyone , im saying everyone holiding DL , please please please take as lesson and never ever never ever speed pleaseeeeeeeeeee !

[HaniPrince]

U think dis is horrible? I was dere when it happend, actually i was 1 of the 1st ppl 2 get hit, cars just kept runin in2 each other i got hit 6 times b4 i moved my car out of the way, then 38 cars exploded without warning, a man got decapitated, another one got run over by a land cruiser while he was trying to get out of his car and cars were on each other. Its not the fog, its the drivers, the visibility wasn't that bad at all and i only got hit from behind i didnt hit anyone in front of me

[bahraintaxi]

They believe that accidents won't happen to them, that they can speed, tailgate (drive too close to the car in front), weave in and out of lanes, high-beam (flash) cars in the left hand to land to move over so they can pass at 160 KM per hour. Then when its foggy they don't use their fog or headlights, they use their hazard warning lights and continue to speed.

Drivers in the Gulf are arrogant and self-important, not caring about their lives or the lives of others. When will they learn?

[abdoooz]

I passed by the scene twice today (on my way to Abu Dhabi and back to Dubai)... tell you, I've never seen something like this before, seems like an Earthquake hit the area....many burnt cars!!!

[SamerTumeh]

Hope this time the big Sheikhs will wake up and think: "What a shame, why do we have the deadliest road in the whole WORLD (Guiness Book of Records, lists SZR as the deadliest road in the world) why do we have so much accidents, despite the modern infrastructure? Why is that happening to us, why other countries don't have problems like that? What are we doing wrong. What a shame to look like that in front of the world" I tell ya all why, because it is damn to easy to get a license in UAE.

[SamerTumeh]

This is the result of people driving without education. Why do you think accidents like this happen a far less in Europe, there were almost half the year is full of fogs? Because there people are educated to drive safely, here in UAE people are just dumb, coming from all over the world, especially third world countries and drive like they do drive in their home country. UAE, it is time to make a new driving test for all! let them all fail! For human lives sake!! (YES I LIVE IN DUBAI)

[mightysatti]

Below is the update guys from Gulf News:

Ghantoot: At least six people have been killed after an horrific accident on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway near Ghantoot on Tuesday morning.

..around 200 cars were involved in the crash, which happened in heavy fog, with 25 cars catching fire.

... because of the bad weather helicopters were unable to begin airlifting the injured until 11.30am.

[nash229]

I believe there were over 100 cars in the pile up. At least 25 cars were on burnt in this acciden ...people must learn to slow down ther cars , leave sufficient space between cars and use their FOG lights and not their hazard lights

[shyam23377]

OMG its horrible. looks almost like a natural calamity

[am306601]

very big accident
