Chasing Midnight New Years Eve 2015-16

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

Quick switch on 22w

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

Problems in Dubai?

Major tower block fire just across the lake from the Burj Khalifa. 40 or so floors engulfed.

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!

 

[T.Tanilsoo]

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

I´m aware of that, I meant the lack of pyrotechnics

Now showing on Reuters, 22w

I nearly fooked up the recording but didn't so I can put one up later.

Dubai really does put on a good show

What a bizarre new year in Dubai

 

[T.Tanilsoo]

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.

Yeah! 20p per litre more next year!

20 minutes & counting for Dubai - wow!!

 

[hexah]

 

[dankargo]

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.

About 20, they were late on parade, bloody good show though! Still think it means 20p per litre next year!
