Digital Phablet – The renowned Emirati media personality and presenter, Anas Bukhash, shared his awe-inspiring story of narrowly escaping death after his vehicle was entirely engulfed in flames in a shocking and sudden incident.
Bukhash recounted the terrifying moments he faced, emphasizing that “divine intervention” and a mere technical malfunction were the reasons he survived.
He explained the incident to his followers through a video and photos posted on his official Instagram account, which garnered significant engagement from the public as well as colleagues in the media and entertainment industries.
“I sensed it was my car even before I saw it,” Bukhash wrote in his post, describing how the fire occurred in a highly unusual and random manner. After finishing filming and bidding farewell to his guests, he heard someone scream that a car was on fire. The oddest part was his initial feeling—he knew it was his vehicle before he could see it.
He added, “I calmly approached to confirm, and it indeed was my car.”
Initially hesitant to disclose details about the accident, Bukhash decided to share his experience to remind everyone that life includes both beautiful moments and difficult challenges. He expressed gratitude that a technical glitch in the recording process delayed them, which ultimately saved their lives.
“If the recording glitch hadn’t caused the delay, we would have been inside the car when the fire started,” he said. “Even a few more minutes would have made us sit right in the middle of it. Thank God this incident happened at this specific time, in this particular place, and in this way.”
He also mentioned that on-site construction workers played a crucial role in controlling the blaze initially, using fire extinguishers they had available. Bukhash feels fortunate that the fire occurred where help was nearby rather than while he was driving or near his home.
Concluding, Bukhash reassured his followers, “Thank God, we are safe and unharmed. I appreciate all the messages checking on me. Sorry if I couldn’t reply to some of you.”
He reflected on the incident, emphasizing that sometimes luck and small delays can be life-saving, and acknowledged that what happened has made him appreciate how fortunate he truly is.
