Shocking new Iraq wedding drone footage showing moment venue set ablaze

Iraqi Interior Ministry released footage showing moments of deadly fire at a wedding hall in Mosul last week.
Footage of the fire breaking out while the bride and groom were dancing also shows people running in a panic.
Almost 100 people died in the tragic incident, local authorities said Wednesday, Sep. 27.
There were 800 people at the wedding hall when the fire broke out, according to reports.
Another 500 people were injured in the fire, which broke out at Al Haytham Wedding Hall in the Al-Hamdaniya district, southeast of the city of Mosul, local media reported, citing Ahmed Hamdani, deputy director of the Mosul Health Department.
The Iraqi News Agency said the fire was caused by fireworks, candles, and other materials used during the event.

[@dannycolverson6944]

It's amazing when it zooms out and you see how low the ceiling is. It's difficult to understand. There are clearly huge cultural differences between the UK and Iraq, because in the UK, it would have been obvious to most people straight away that the pyro is waaaaay too powerful and is going to set the building alight. It's crazy how slow people are to react and how slowly they gauge how bad the situation is. When I watched this, I had no idea anyone had died, but I was screaming at the screen for them to get up and leave. Those guys at the end, standing next to an open door and just watching the building burn.....the mind boggles.

Islam is 500 years behind. understand these people.

[@ayla88z]

@@verlorenerjunge5921 Just to clarify, those in the hall are all Christians and from a fairly well-known family in Iraq, and the newlyweds said themselves that the owner of the ceremony hall confirmed that there is nothing wrong with lighting fireworks and putting them for decoration, and the speed at which the fires started was so horrific that many people died and caused their death. There is only one exit, which is the door that you see in front of two men, and the number of guests was 1000, not to mention the photographers and singers, so everyone fled towards the door, and most of them returned after they went out to search for their children, so there is no need for the religion of Islam to enter into something that was destined to happen. . It is expected that during the investigation with the owner of the hall, they discovered that he was a fraud and took the money needed to build the hall with expensive materials and bought cheap things, which led to the death of innocent people.

Did they have a drone in the hall? Who controls the drone and from where?

[@ryshellso526]

Drone probably helped start it with its motors acting as fans...😂😂😂😂

Weddings are way too extravagant these days. Everybody thinks they are special, what a waste

[@aaronjohn137]

KZbin has taught me never to attend a wedding in the Middle East. This isn't the first one I've seen on this app that went bad.

[@RealMangaAddict]

It's sad to know that a lot of these people died not because they couldn't make it to the exit, but because they were looking for loved ones......

[@Daraaaawassup]

Sad thinking about but yea could be

[@LoLoLifeinFlorida]

I feel so bad for this couple and people who were killed 😢

[@Vrinda-wk1ft]

The owner of this hall and the planner or who ever decided to have fireworks in a closed room, that could reach a height - close enough to the ceiling.... should be jailed. Because you have to be the dumbest to not know you have to deal with any type of fire with maximum caution ! Even the bride with such a dress was dancing in the middle of four fireworks going off. Such a careless planning !! I hope the victims rest in peace and the families find healing.

[@thanatos2288]

It was the bride and groom, the hall's rules were against it. But such rules can be easily broken when you're wealthy. The groom doesn't believe the fireworks caused it.

[@Vrinda-wk1ft]

@@thanatos2288 wow. it's so clear from the clip what caused the fire. the groom needs to be questioned too. Also I would blame the hall management too. They know their place the best. If it was in the rules, then that's it. No matter what it shouldn't have been changed for anyone. Safety should be first and not compromised. Now, they have a case and also lost their business.

[@jomr4249]

No one knew this would happen. Stuff like this has been used in weddings many times. There doesn’t always have to be someone to crucify and blame in every bad situation.

[@thanatos2288]

@@jomr4249 This is not a natural disaster. Such accidents could have been avoided if indoor pyrotechniques weren't used and the hall had secured facilities. The hall contained several components that were highly flammable and illegal to use.

[@jomr4249]

@@thanatos2288 Everything in the world that is bad could technically be avoided if we were all Gods and psychics. But we aren’t. We don’t always have the foresight to know when something bad will happen.

Oh my heart breaks! I think those people at the end were running towards the bathrooms and most likely perished. Absolutely heart-wrenching to watch.

This is so terrible. I cannot see any reason to have fireworks INSIDE a building. I have a friend who had a candle all over, ignite the tablecloth, and the house caught fire. Very sad.

[@dismantledbrain5910]

Wedding turned into a Rammstein concert real fast

[@yeyosilver7067]

This was the same thing that happened in 2013 in Brazil with the "Boate kiss" The bride lost her mother, her brother, 10 relatives and her father was fighting for his life in the hospital Everything about this was tragic, it was the fault of the organizers, not the bride and groom

[@deed2157]

Im seeing some people say the bride and groom insisted for the fireworks to be used indoors, but I don't know if there is truth to that. Only in time we'll know all the details.

[@rudyzk]

[@yeyosilver7067]

@@deed2157 They may have insisted, but because the organizers did not explain the risks Looking at videos of other weddings, this seemed like a common part of the decor, they probably just wanted what they had seen before

don't allow wedding planners to insert EXPLOSIVES like fireworks into your wedding building.

This wedding was for a Christian family in the city of Mosul, and the fire killed 122 people, and the bride suffered severe burns. The news also spread throughout Iraq, and the Iraqi police arrested the owners of the hall.

What a tragedy. One thing you can learn from this: if there is some fireworks inside, do not wait and go outside! As soon as possible!

[@cw2256]

[@cecillefuralan3464]

the fireworks is for outside venue not meant for closeddoor and unsafe for parties like these

[@LisaMoon.]

This was sad to watch but the question here is, why lit this lights inside the building which would have led to disaster (It did!). Devastating but ironic how people don't focus on safety first. RIP for those who lost their lives.

[@TheBooty28]

Yeah and no exits. A large hall like that should have exits on both sides down the length of the building. You always see this in large halls. Everyone would have gotten out. Unfortunately only one main exit and the kitchen exit..Wtf.?? This really sucks.

[@zski66]

What is sad is that people are still using pyrotechnics indoors after multiple incidents like this have happened.
