A routine landing at Dubai International Airport turned into a dramatic emergency when Emirates Flight EK521 from India crash-landed just before 1 p.m. All 300 people on board survived, thanks to quick action by the crew and rescue teams, but a firefighter tragically lost his life battling the blaze that followed. Investigators say shifting winds may have played a role, and passengers recall being warned of possible landing-gear issues moments before touchdown. The swift evacuation is being praised as a critical factor in preventing further loss of life.
