An Emirates plane with 275 people on board was involved in an accident on landing Wednesday at Dubai airport but all the passengers were evacuated safely, the government said.

Footage on social media showed smoke billowing from the aircraft.

“An Emirates plane coming from India has been involved in an accident on landing at Dubai International,” Dubai Media Office said on its Twitter account.

“All passengers were evacuated safely and no injuries have been reported so far,” it said, adding that all departures from Dubai International have been halted “until further notice.”

Emirates confirmed the incident.

“We can confirm flight EK521 from Thiruvananthapuram to Dubai has been involved in an accident at Dubai International,” the carrier said on its Twitter account.

There are reports the landing gear for the plane, which had flown from Trivandrum International Airport in India, may not have come down fully prior to touching down. Other reports claimed the engine on the right side caught fire and fell off while landing

Dramatic footage shows the aircraft exploding in a fireball on the runway, with the force of the blast throwing a huge metal panel from the plane into the air.

Some of their relations will be quarreling by now on who should get the N15m insurance payout cover because our fire service will not have enough water to put out that kind of fire, seeing those clean Nissan Armada rescue jeeps in this picture alone will encourage you not to want die yet,
if na Naija when you see the condition of our Police 'Rapid' Response pickup coming to rescue you, you will feel like jumping back into the fire

Ehyaaaa. See the result of not obeying traffic lights


The pilot thought that because theres hold up he'll be able to beat the light
