2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003Yesterday a skyscraper in Kuwait City caught on fire at around 3PM. Judging by the video it seems the short building to the right of the skyscraper caught fire first and that contributed to the skyscraper catching fire. [YouTube]
Thanks mabkw!
Update: Below is a picture taken from q8blackmarket.com showing the small building on fire.
Don’t forget to STAY OFF THE GULF ROAD!
This video was shot around a month or a month and a half ago but was just uploaded yesterday. Supposedly the plane ran into very heavy turbulence which resulted in everything flying around and a person getting burnt by boiling water. [YouTube]
Thanks KA FAN!
The GulfRun 5 video is out and it’s easily my favorite from all the GulfRun videos up till now. It was directed, shot and produced by Negative Effect who did an incredible job squeezing three days worth of activities and hours and hours worth of footage into just two minutes and thirty seconds. Watch it above or follow this link for the best experience [Video]
Dusty Beach from Moayad Hassan on Vimeo.
A very soothing 3 minute film by Moayad shot during a dust storm here in Kuwait. Other than a few scenes where you could see the camera reflection and some scenes with excess camera shake, this video is pretty well made.
Thanks Nasser!
It seems a Kuwait Airways landing caused quite a bit of commotion last month when it landed pretty hard at the Heathrow Airport in London. Someone managed to capture the whole incident on video and posted on YouTube which you can watch above. [YouTube]
Thanks Ahmad!
The first three directors are very cool (Tarantino, Lynch and Wes Anderson). The last directors I have no idea who they are. [Link]
This is why I love YouTube, you find completely random useless videos which you end up watching. This one is of a guy in Kuwait trying to break some sort of random record… eating 7 Ferrero Rocher chocolates in under a minute. Location: Gas Station! [YouTube]
PS: I can EASILY eat 7 Rochers in a minute!
Update: Just tried it. It is more difficult then I expected but I managed to eat 6 rochers in 46.97 seconds (just got two packs of 3). I unwrapped them all first since it’s a waste of time to unwrap with the clock ticking. The hardest part is the chewing. I think I could even swallow faster the next time i try this.
In case you want to replicate this test. Start the stop watch then grab the first Rocher. Stop the stop watch once you finish swallowing all the Rochers.
Someone forgot to pull the handbrakes… [YouTube]
Two weeks back I posted pictures of the GulfRun guys getting their cars washed and stickers applied and now Negative Effect just released a video of that event. I’m looking forward for the video of the actual races since he had a whole bunch of FlipHD cameras setup around all the cars capturing footage from every angle. For now though you can watch this.

This mini club was found inside what looks like an ordinary tent from the outside. Pretty cool. [YouTube]
A very beautiful time-lapse video of Dubai. [Vimeo]
I’ve posted a number of times about the dancing Filipino inmates (here, here and here) and it seems Michael Jackson was also a fan and used to watch their videos during his breaks. Travis Payne who was Michael Jackson’s choreographer decided he would fly over to the Philippines and teach the prisoners his routine from the film “This is it”. The result? Check out the video above. [YouTube]
