A dramatic video clip, which has since gone viral on social media, showed the Jakarta Islamic Centre Grand Mosque's dome collapsing amid a plume of smoke and dust.

The Jakarta Islamic Centre Grand Mosque in Indonesia was destroyed Wednesday after its huge dome collapsed following a giant fire. A dramatic video clip, which has gone viral on social media, shows the dome of the mosque collapsing amid a plume of smoke and dust.

Prior to the collapse, footage shows flames coming out of the grey dome and firefighters trying to bring the fire under control.

The giant dome of the Jakarta Islamic Centre Grand Mosque in Indonesia has collapsed after a major fire broke out.

The fire was reported at around 3 pm local time and at least 10 fire engines were dispatched to the scene to tackle it, said a Gulf Today report quoting Indonesian media. It added that the cause of the fire is unknown.

The mosque, undergoing renovations, was surrounded by scaffolding when the incident occurred. No one was injured and an investigation is on to ascertain its cause.

The mosque, situated in a complex alongside education, commercial and research facilities, had caught fire 20 years ago in October 2002. It had taken over five hours to extinguish the fire at that time.

No. It was payback for Notre-Dame de Paris.

That was the most beautiful sight in the world along with the sound of the evening crash of the dome, right Zero?

That’s what happens when you hire fools and incompetents to do renovations.

A sign from al-Lah? Could be. Did anyone hear the whispering voice saying, “Have pre-taste of Hell you heathens!”?

Maybe making way for a Christian church to be built on the site. Mosques should all collapse.

My desktop wallpaper is a still from when the crane fell through the mosque all the muzzies run to every year for the pilgrimage....I have no empathy for muzzies what so ever. I consider them satanic.
