Actually, I just remembered Burj Al-Arab was not supposed to go off at midnight sharp either in any case

Live fireworks on CNN from Dubai. Is that a recording or fireworks aren't being shown on the feed that all the broadcasters are taking (euronews f.e.)?

Black mark for the Duo - it crashed at 2 minutes to 8 so I missed all the lovely clocks the Armenians & Azeri clocks usually have :(

Stunning display from Dubai. Sky News delayed by about 10 seconds.

I could have sworn they were playing the Back To The Future theme tune during the display!

If the earlier schedule stands, Burj Al-Arab should begin at 2009 GMT

Yeah, Burj Al-Arab is mostly being shown now, it went off on time. I did catch Burj Khalifa too at times but it was only shown from a distance.

2015 - Annus horribilis right to the bitter end.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good display but over 20 minutes worth is a little too much in my opinion. It starts getting a little bit too repetitive for my liking and just ruins the whole feel.
