There might be a reason why the gear can't be seen...

Seems a bit more than an "incident". Thank God everyone got out.

Listened to ATC tape at Live ATC Archive for OMDB Tower 2, select 0830-0900Z.

http://archive-server.liveatc.net/om...2016-0830Z.mp3

Crew checks in calm at 06:00, wind check for landing 12L, 340/11. Likely CM1 PF.

At 07:29 Looks like a low level G/A (after, W/S, long landing, and/or tailstrike?) was then started by the crew. ATC confirms the 4000ft G/A ALT. The rest is history...

At least nobody got killed.

Tried to check if there was a buddy operating the flight as he told he was doing a night turnaround to India. The company was quick to block off access to iCrew and the section of the portal where you can look up specific flights. I'm glad everyone is reported safe, and hope everything turn outs well in the aftermath.

I have the crew list and I'm not sharing. Let the press be damned!

Just want to say your brothers "down the road" are watching and happy to hear all are safe.

Kudos to your crew for rising to action after a long night to get all the passengers safely off a smoldering and broken airplane. Hopefully that feat is not lost in what is sure to be a lot of sensationalism to come.

Just like with FZ, we are the all the same out here. Same pressures and schedules and when something like this happens it's like it is one of our own.

Safe landings to all

Well done to the crew. Thankfully no one hurt. It will be interesting to see how this one will be spun out. Thoughts with all my former colleagues.

Does look like the gear was retracted- Must of been one hell of a shear!!!

If that is the case, they did well making a semi-controlled landing and not stalling.

Having RR engines didn't help under those conditions/circumstances.

Well done to those in charge on board for getting everyone out safely.

Recruitment recently told me you will work very hard in Emirates, to the maximum allowed. Expect 7-9 days off on B777. We are short crewed. We can't hide the truth the lady said, because its all out there on social media.

Dunno if this sheds any light; AV Herald says: "Upon contacting tower tower reminded the crew of lowering the gear and cleared the aircraft to land."

The ATC recording isn't very clear. The controller refers to EK521 several times after the crash. Is he talking to the fire services or trying to reach the aircraft still? I cant hear what he's saying.

EK531 was on approach at the same time. Callsign confusion...?

That EK can't hide the truth, obviously.

Congratulations to the entire crew! Good job guys! Message to the EK team management: I hope you realize now how important is the role of the crewmembers especially in emergency situation. Listen to their complains, Improve the working conditions before it's too late!
