So Bloomberg said:
The Emirates flight, bound to Washington DC, suffered a close call after the Boeing 777-300ER nearly impacted the ground in a Dubai neighborhood, according to The Air Current, which cited Flightradar24 and a notice to Emirates pilots. The plane came within 175 feet of impacting the ground, according to the news website. The incident may have been due to “incorrect setting” of the autopilot in the plane’s pre-flight setup, it said.
Is there any other evidence anything happened. And more importanly, if this Triple7 cleared some housing by 75ft (200ft?) and nobody noticed, anybody got the builders details? I'd still be looking for my roof...
