00:01Good evening and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:05Today is Wednesday, the 9th of September, 2026, the 9th of September, 2026, and the 27th of Rabi Al-Awwal.
00:15A very strange incident happened a few hours ago, specifically last night, Tuesday.
00:22Today is Wednesday, so it happened in the past few hours.
00:25A very strange incident happened in Iraq, specifically in Kirkuk province.
00:34The residents were surprised and started gathering when they saw inside a cemetery, flames coming out from one of the
00:45graves.
00:45From inside one of the graves, I would like to show you on the screen some clips of the flames.
00:52Blazing fire coming out from inside one of the graves, as filmed in a cemetery.
01:01It's called Saeed Alawi Cemetery in Kirkuk province, Iraq.
01:08And this incident happened last night, Tuesday.
01:12And this day, I can actually see blazing fire coming out from inside one of the graves.
01:21And this made many of the people living in the nearby areas, and many of the residents close to this
01:28cemetery.
01:30Saeed Alawi Cemetery gather and crowd around this grave, watching the fire as it comes out.
01:39And of course, many questions and many analyses started to arise.
01:45Why is this fire coming out, or why are flames coming out of it in one way or another?
01:52Some people, who looked at it from a religious perspective, simply said,
01:57Look, who was there, or who was buried there?
02:01Here, or whose grave is this exactly?
02:03And look at what he did in his life in this world.
02:08Did it make the fire come out, and the fire come out like this and burn the grave?
02:14Ask who is close to this grave, or who is buried here?
02:19Here, some people took a scientific approach and went in another direction.
02:23And I lean towards that explanation, because first, we need to understand the nature of this area.
02:31Kirkuk floats on a sea of gas and oil, and this is well known.
02:35Iraqi Kirkuk has been producing oil since the early days of Iraq,
02:39and it contains the most important oil fields as well as gas fields.
02:42So I imagine that there is a gas leak, meaning there is natural gas leaking from the ground.
02:49It might be nothing, gas, and a leak means there are gas pockets present.
02:56And the leak is near this grave, and maybe someone from the cemetery threw a cigarette butt,
03:03just like how fires break out all over the world.
03:08Someone threw a cigarette butt, someone said, let me throw this ember.
03:13So he threw it, and you know, gas just needs a source of heat, so it would ignite,
03:19and the fire broke out in this grave, or near this grave, in Sayyid al-Awi Cemetery.
03:26And honestly, I strongly lean toward this theory.
03:29My situation is pretty good.
03:35The Iraqi civil defense, the civil defense, went and put out these fires.
03:40As you can see in front of you on the screen without any commentary,
03:44but they always try to deny that it has anything to do with something religious.
03:51Or some people in the area ask, is it possible that it could be a volcano?
03:57A volcano is the first thing that comes to mind without us knowing.
04:00Honestly, when you first see this scene, you might say it's a volcano.
04:05The subject needs more study.
04:07Is it volcanic?
04:08As I told you, I'm more inclined to think it's a natural gas leak.
04:12Why do I think so?
04:13Also, it could be a volcano, or the remains of a volcano,
04:17or a dormant or extinct volcano that exists here in this area.
04:23But I need to review some references and some studies.
04:27But I can't ignore that this place in particular, if you remember,
04:32and I always connect everything together.
04:38In certain stories, you remember what happened two or three weeks ago.
04:43Kirkuk specifically witnessed many earthquakes.
04:47Kirkuk specifically saw many earthquakes, with quakes hitting almost daily,
04:52and their strength ranged between three to four degrees on the Richter scale, right?
04:59This is evidence of volcanic activity in Kirkuk.
05:03Honestly, I can't answer you until I go back to some studies,
05:06check some statistics, and look at satellite images.
05:10I just wanted to share that with you.
05:11That's all.
05:12I'm with you, Ahmad al-Darra.
05:13Okay?
05:14Take the program.
05:15See what's going on.
05:15All the best.
