Aviation Herald report:-

3rd July 2016 10:37Z
An Emirates Airlines Boeing 777-300, registration A6-EMW performing flight EK-521 from Thiruvananthapuram (India) to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) with 275 people on board, was on final approach to Dubai's runway 12L at 12:41L (08:41Z) but attempted to go around from low height. The aircraft however did not climb, but after retracting the gear touched down on the runway and burst into flames. Passengers are being reported evacuated and safe. The aircraft burned down completely.

I wonder where Aviation Herald got their info from?
....attempted to go around from low height. The aircraft however did not climb, but after retracting the gear touched down on the runway and burst into flames...
gear up before positive rate of climb? If that's right, then surely that's wrong.

They did a job to be proud of Today. What happened up front we will find out in time but I don't think the CC's actions can be criticized in any way given the outcome.

troppo: poor hoss might have got an unwarranted flaming
We will never know as my perfectly reasonable analysis of visual clues was deleted.
My point was - it does not look like a gear collapse as first reported, rather a gear-up landing, which has now been reported. Thank you over-zealous mods.

Avionyx,
You are quite right about the cc crew actions. They also saved the pax.( all of them), in YYZ a few years ago. I find that many of my colleagues are quick to speak in a derogatory manner about the cc, belittle their roles, question their abilities. When the real test came in the aforementioned accidents, they not only rose to the challenge, but shone!
As a soon to retire Professional Pilot of 29 years, ( 1 to go), I have nothing but respect for their abilities in these incredibly difficult situations. Not to mention, what they put up with during the course of their regular work.

Good to see that log0008 and others still not crediting pictures.

Can we stop with the tailwind? Landed on 12L @ 0841Z.
Wind @ 0800Z was 140/12 Varying 100 to 180.
Wind at 0900Z was 110/21.
So, predominantly from the SE with a bit of variation either side of the r/w axis.
BUT with WS reported and circa 45 C and low QNH....

The words GoAround,Flapsxx, Gear Up might have been said but if the mode doesn't engage for whatever reason....... JetStar tried it and got away with it. Recognition of positive climb before the pilot selects the gear up works well.

Interested Passenger, FYI, in a G/A situation with W/S there is no configuration change till well clear of the W/S

Crash of emirates 777
Yes.but something doesnt fit in because they are supposed to retract the gear only after a positive rate of climb is verified.
And plus,if they attempted go around and still hit the ground that might mean that they stalled out or didnt follow correct procedures
