Deadly Ever After

Ep 61 | Wedding Tent Fire


Listen Later

The Kuwait wedding fire of 2009 remains one of the most devastating wedding-related tragedies in modern history. What began as a joyful celebration in a packed women’s wedding tent turned catastrophic when a jealous ex-wife deliberately set the structure ablaze, trapping hundreds inside. The tent, lacking proper safety exits and built with highly flammable materials, was engulfed within minutes. More than 50 women and children lost their lives, and many more were injured. The tragedy exposed deep cultural tensions, safety oversights, and the unimaginable consequences of unchecked resentment—forever marking it as a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly joy can turn to horror.
