Dubai Mall got a lot of attention Monday night, after a power outage left thousands of shoppers in the dark.  

The electricity was out for at least 90 minutes, according to Al Arabiya

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), the city's utility provider, released a statement soon after, explaining what caused the outage. 

"There has been a power outage in Dubai Mall, which was caused by the transfer of high-voltage cable from Dubai Mall’s substation, based on a request from Emaar Properties.”

Of course, the whole incident was documented on social media ... and people came out with humor, in full force.  

Shopping uninterrupted ... thanks to flashlights

Because #priorities

Important questions were raised

Some were genuinely worried about those stuck in elevators ...

It was a first for many ... so they took advantage

And when the power was restored ... the celebrations began!
