I have no interest in badmouthing anyone, no need to get defensive. I'm just trying to find out what actually happened, as my mate is a non aviation person and this is just his version as he experienced it.
Whatever he heard/misheard the basics are there. takoff-boom-chaos-heavy landing back in dxb. so whats the story?
I've seen the pictures and I can assure you im not winding anyone up.
