Emirates Flight EK521 crash-landed at Dubai International Airport on Wednesday, but all 300 people on board survived, according to the airline. The aircraft, arriving from the Indian city of Thiruvananthapuram, landed at 12:45 p.m. local time, marking a frightening incident with no passenger fatalities.

Despite the successful evacuation, the tragedy claimed the life of one firefighter who responded to the emergency. Emirates Chairman and CEO Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum also confirmed that 10 people were hospitalized. The airline said all 282 passengers and 18 crew members were safe and accounted for after the accident.

The exact cause remains under investigation. Emirates later revealed there were signs of wind shear, a sudden downdraft, during the plane’s descent, though it is still unknown whether it contributed to the crash-landing. Passenger Iype Vallikadan said the pilot announced a problem with the landing gear and warned that an emergency landing would be necessary.

Cabin crew quickly opened all emergency exits, allowing everyone to evacuate within minutes. The flight carried travelers from several countries, including 226 from India, 24 from Britain, 11 from the Emirates, six from the United States, and passengers from more than a dozen other nations.

Boeing confirmed that a technical team is prepared to assist investigators alongside the National Transportation Safety Board. Dubai’s aviation authority also launched an investigation, with Director General Saif Mohamed Al Suwaidi stating, “Our primary concern at this moment is the safety and well-being of all passengers and cabin crew.” The incident temporarily disrupted airport operations, causing delays of around six hours before flights resumed later that evening.
