Dubai-based TV Host Wissam Breidy was travelling with his family when Iran\u00a0launched an\u00a0attack on the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. “I was a father, sitting beside my wife and two little daughters, watching from the plane window as missiles lit up the skies above Qatar,” a visibly shaken up Breidy posted on his Instagram handle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what happened<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wissam was headed towards Dubai with his wife and two daughters when the plane landed in Bahrain instead. He and his family then waited to board their Dubai flight following the temporary closure of Dubai Airports yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few hours (which probably felt like a lifetime!) of uncertainty, Wissam and his loved ones were safely back in Dubai. All is well that ends well!<\/p>\n

All the feels and more…<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not your own life that scares you; it\u2019s the lives of those you love more than anything in the world,” posted Wissam, thanking God for keeping his family safe. But it was the pilot that certainly won hearts on the flight! “In that moment, what kept us grounded was a voice. Calm, reassuring, composed. Our captain spoke with such grace and control not just flying the plane, but anchoring our hearts.”<\/p>\n

A special thanks to the UAE<\/h2>\n

Wissam thanked his beloved country for always being there, for “feeling like solid ground in uncertain moments”. The UAE has always given him a “sense of protection, of order, of strength even when the world around is shaking.” How moving!<\/p>\n
