An Emirates flight from Thiruvananthapuram, India, crash-landed at Dubai International Airport on Wednesday, sparking chaos and fear but ending in an incredible survival story. All 300 people on board—282 passengers and 18 crew members—made it out alive, though 10 were hospitalized with injuries. Tragically, one firefighter lost his life while bravely responding to the blaze.
The accident occurred around 12:45 p.m. local time, with reports suggesting that wind shear and landing gear problems may have contributed to the emergency. Passengers recalled the pilot calmly alerting them about a technical issue just before the hard landing. Moments later, flames engulfed the aircraft, prompting a rapid evacuation.
Authorities praised the crew and rescue teams for their quick, coordinated response, which prevented what could have been a far greater tragedy. An investigation is now underway to determine the exact cause.
