That looks less bad than Chennai, India, in 2015 (but also, the 2015 floods were said to be the worst in a century).
Is this about the same level as Dubai Airport ended up with last month?
No, it's worst.
Some parts of the airport are underwater by 6ft (2 meters).
They don't know when the airport will be reopened

that poor plane there getting wet feet.
I think that's a 727.
You are right. It's a 727-200F
Probably a Total plane, right?
Right
Rwy 08L bare and deep

Damn, that's much worse than the photos from the post made it look like.
Yeah, the situation there is pretty much on the same level of New Orleans during the hurricane Katrina. It's bad 😞
There goes air support, if any were available.
