#Iraq #Wedding #Fire
I thought those flares supposed to be burn outside not inside
😂 ❤
So sad and terrible 😢😢
Haleluuyaahhh…
😭😭😭
Heartbreaking. Leave the Pyro to the experts.
This reminds me of the fire at a Great White concert in Rhode Island that killed 100 people. I wonder how many times this tragedy will be repeated before people finally learn that using fireworks indoors is DANGEROUS??
terrorist has something to do with this MARk my words.
terrorist seriously ?
it was a wedding ceremony what part of the story did you miss all the invited guests were families and friends and the fire broke inside the building and not outside nor was caused by any explosion and what does a terrorist has to gain killing random civilian people who were not gathering of maybe government politicians and meetings what logic of terrorism does that make lol 😂 ?
Condolence to all families of those who perished in that wedding fire tragedy in Iraq. May they all Rest in Peace.
The Station nightclub fire…wedding edition 💐🕊
the ceiling is so low and they allowed fireworks 😢 fireworks should be outside 😢
american backyard kegger/cookout wedding receptions are the best
Shortest marriage 😮
We are pray for this all family in jesus name amen 😢
5 idiots with to much money, willingly put themselves in a situation where death is highly likely. EVERYONE talks about it for a month. 90 people die attending a joyous ceremony, not even thinking there is a risk of death………. crickets.
Did the main pair survived?
They were is jail now 😢
@nothing honeymoon. The worst is that they probably separate.
Ohhh
What
For the first time in 20 years it was not Americans murdering them. They must be in shock.
😭😭 💔💔💔 A man crying for his mom 😔😔 so heartbreaking
Im speechless:(( the wedding:((
Соболезнуем, разделяем ваше горе. Из России❤
The pyrotechnics crew should be held accountable for this mess.
America here. My heart grieves with them. Sending love and prayers overseas right now. 🙏🏻🕊💗🫂
sad 😞
There were some huge fire catastrophies in the US also, back before they started requiring drop ceilings to be fire resistant. Fire codes may seem like government overreach, but they do save lives.
Why would allow pyrotechnics in a inclose place
Evil
Maybe don’t set off fireworks indoors.. 🤦♂🙄
🇮🇶🤝🏻🇺🇲
Wow, Worst wedding of ALL TIME, when are people going to learn that fire at a wedding is a bad idea, like the girl who’s wedding dress caught fire.
It breaks my heart that disasters like this can end up taking many lives. I’m so sorry for anyone who experienced this.
OK. Allahs ways are not predictable.
In this case it’s was jesus ways😮
@Oj Kiuy all same for me
Innalillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Raziun
Looks like that wedding was fire!
Thats why we have rules in The West and people who fallow it. You are decades and decades behind
keep weddings simple.
Fireworks allowed inside?
What a horrible tragedy. One that could have/should have, been avoided. My heart breaks for them all. I don’t know how the bride and groom can find peace, all one can do is offer a prayer for solace from God Almighty.
Much sympathy from Wisconsin, USA.
alive now to.attend wedding.. after a few hours dead.. for owners of the venue.. bankrupt. so sad. life is like that.. always pray.. whatever our nationality is. it could happen to anyone.. accident.
Jesus Christ 💔✝️
Another tragedy for the lost christians poor remained in Iraq.
In the beginning i thought it was a terrorist attack
I’m truly devastated to hear about this heartbreaking incident in Iraq. My heart goes out to all the families and loved ones who lost their dear ones in such a horrific tragedy. It’s a stark reminder of the Colectiv tragedy in Romania, where over 60 people lost their lives on that fateful Friday night in 2015, as they were celebrating at a rock club.
I want you to know that we, the people of Romania, understand the pain and sorrow you are going through. We remember the anguish, the loss, and the profound grief that came with the Colectiv tragedy. It was a dark chapter in our history, and it still resonates deeply with us.
During these moments of immense suffering, it may be difficult to see it, but God is with us. He provides strength and solace, even when the world seems unbearably dark. As believers, we find our faith tested, but it’s during these trials that we can draw closer to God’s love and mercy.
I pray that God’s presence comforts the hearts of those who are grieving in Iraq, just as it has for us in Romania. Lean on your faith, support one another, and remember that, in time, healing can come, and the memories of your loved ones will remain as a testament to their enduring impact on your lives.
Fireworks 🎆 within building. Make no sense.
It was planned
If they spent more of their money helping the poor of Iraq rather than on fireworks at a wedding they wouldn’t have had this problem
This was set up some one put fire that want to ruin every one life .
Tragecomedy and the proof of absurdity of occasionalism
Never ever use pyrotechnics inside a venue
How horrific! I’m so sorry!😢😢😢
So heartbreaking 😭💔 please stop using fireworks
Pretty dumb to have fireworks in any enclosed or small spaced venue… might as well just had a bonfire inside.
Prayers too you all 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope they can learn something from this.
OMG 😢
What a horrible thing to happen to our brothers and sisters in Iraq! I can’t believe it…
Let us pray for the victims n their love ones that they are all conforted n guided by the Lord. Bless us Lord that such tragic thing never happens again. Thanks God
Indoor fireworks. What could possibly go wrong. A nation of bongo brains.
Can’t people just marry normally ???
Oh this is so heartbreaking. Sorry to the victims and their families. This was supposed to be a joyful celebration and it turned tragic. May Allah grant their families the strength to over this great lost 😢
أحب عندما أرى العرب المسيحيين يتعرضون للذبح. إنهم العدو الحقيقي. وبسببهم فقد مليون عراقي بريء حياتهم. لقد حان الوقت لأن يكون لدينا ساحة لعب عادلة
😢😢
Pyrotechnics indoors should ONLY be used by LICENSED PROFESSIONALS….
Does anybody remember “The STATION” Nightclub Fire in R.I. with “Great White” 20yrs. ago? 100 people killed.
Oh my rest in peace 🙏 I feel sorry n sad it’s a 💔 this is a lesson let’s be cautious n first acknowledge the safety of everyone’ before putting anything that can lead to this 💔 situation
That’s what happened if you go overboard on celebrating something fireworks indoor really? Condolences to the losses of the family.
Why would you light fireworks inside a building?
Over 200 people died, actually.
This really is tragic, but who thought that pyrotechnics would be ok inside a facility like that??? This whole thing could have been easily avoided and the people who allowed it to happen need to be held responsible. I hope the survivors can find some peace.
Ohh god 😢😢😢
The bride survived and lost her mother, brother and father is in critical condition. I could never survive that. I’m sure the survivors guilt is horrendous. Over 150 injured 🥺
Red wedding
How can people without safety awareness light fireworks indoors?
Horrible. Such a tragedy. It happened so fast.
Nothing special (comparing to what’s happening in Ukraine) …
… why did you bring a firecracker inside the building. Firecracker are supposed to be on the ground outside the building.
Now this is truly heart-wrenching no matter what 😢
. why did you bring a firecracker inside the building. Firecracker are supposed to be on the ground outside the building. I think iraqi people and isis are used to in hazardous b o m bs and other explosive materials that’s why they did not even bother about the safety and not of firecrackers.
Pero, a quien se le ocurre torar fuegos artificiales adentro de una sala, casa, habiitacion? Perdon, pero tiene que ser muy ignorante.
Absolutely devastating.
Blessings to the people affected by this tragedy.
From Australia
😢 God beware 😢 thats so horrible i dont know if i could stay alive if it where my party😢😢😢😢😢 uffffff those cryings😢😢😢
White folks are so enamored with fire, 🔥 that’s its usually what overcomes them. I just can’t understand, why FIRE ?? 🔥
This is in Iraq not white people woe how Rude that is so racist of you
My heartfelt and deepest condolences to the families
May the peace of God that surpases human understanding be with you
mu gosh this is horrible😢😢😢 prayers for all victim🙏
I remember crying when the Rhode Island Nightclub fire took 100 lives in 2003. I CANNOT believe a very similar scenario unfolded at this wedding. My heart is broken for these poor souls. How could this happen? Pyrotechnics INDOORS anything except an arena is NOT a good idea anymore.
Man…. that is not a good start yo!
Astahferollah….
Para namang sumpa tong kasal nila!
Thats so sad Prayers for them it took me days just to manage to watch this its so heart wrenching.
I am curious how the people who installed the pyrotechnics are doing?
i thought those were indoor fireworks? none the less, they should know better. whatever type of firework should be always outdoors.
Peace be upon you.
😪😪😪😪
Wow I don’t know how are the bride and groom now. Are they afraid of people with vendetta against them?
Fire drills save lives
Typical abdul
Such a stupid thing to do.
What a terrible tragedy xx Bless you all xx
Indoor fireworks???stupid
