Maybe (if true) the closest thing to a photo that has become available ?

Quote....a pilot who was waiting on a taxiway to take off for India from Dubai and would have entered the runway after a few planes, including EK-521, would have landed and vacated the runway. "She (EK-521) was about 30/40 (ft) from the ground with nose-up attitude. Her attitude confused us. We were discussing this, and we saw she is struggling to climb (landing gear were down). At a point, the struggle to climb stopped, for a brief moment levelled out, and then slowly she came down," the pilot said in a WhatsApp to a group of pilots....unquote.

Possibly that was EK572 to CCU ?
