I'm an American stuck in Dubai. I just want to get home in time for my kid's 1st birthday.

I saw a drone attack being intercepted. The wild part was that people were still out and about. The crowd in the mall just seemed unconcerned. They were so trusting of their safety. Since everyone was acting so normal, I went to the beer garden at the hotel. I had a drink while looking at the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. I took a selfie, and just after that, I noticed something that looked like a shooting star, followed by a small explosion.
