All I knew was a that 1 second the plane was normal...next second a fire...and I thought that my end was near

I was one victim

@AircroftDesigin Thank God!!! I really think emirates did i job well done :D

@PancakeAddiction he and British he rung me he was on that flight he's ok I was almost in tears talking to him

@AircroftDesigin Hopefully not... what natonality is he/she?

@AircroftDesigin, that is tragic and I hadn't heard. Firefighters put their lives on the line every day, that's why an investigation which should discover the root cause of this accident will be held.

I hope that wasn't the flight ma friend was on

@ChiChiWerx a firefighter died :-(

@PancakeAddiction possibly if that's what happened, but also read this: "Over the past five years, ASRS has received an average of
60 gear up landing reports per year. Gear up landings rarely
meet the damage or injury requirements for a National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report or investigation
and they are seldom reflected in general aviation safety
statistics. Nevertheless, no pilot wants to experience a
gear up landing. There is always the potential for a serious
outcome and the repair costs associated with any gear up
landing can be substantial." NASA Aviation Reporting System Report. Granted, the majority of the gear up landings are on smaller aircraft, but it's happened on larger aircraft as well.

@ChiChiWerx Well, everyone survived, including the pilot & crew + i dont think they FORGOT the landing gear... 1 passenger said that the Landing was normal, until while braking they felt a sudden drop, which could mean the right rear gear collapsed. It can explain why the right engine detached & all the gears collapsed too

Good news is that there were (apparently) no casualties, at least that's what the media is saying.

It is too early to accurately tell what exactly happened, still lots of contradictory statements, recollections of panicked passengers, very interesting accounts of what the tower broadcast to the crew in the moments immediately prior to the accident. But here's my guess: THEY FORGOT TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. It happens all the time. Not very often on a large aircraft which has alarms and reminders, but it still happens, much more often than you would think.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yeah, thats what i think too. The landing gear all collapsed when it landed, so it was scraping the runway

Speculation is that it was a landing gear failure. because it exploded after landing. and its landing gear never came out.
