Does that flap still look to be set at 30?
It looks more like Flap 20, which is the go around flap setting. It certainly doesn't look like Flap 30.

The following video shows a 777-300ER with Flap 20 at 8:01:

Flap 30 at 8:45:

Of course the Emirates aircraft could have been using Flap 25 for landing, given the conditions.
