An Emirates Boeing triple seven is in serious trouble on its final approach to Dubai international airport. 300 people cling to their seats as strong gusts shake the plane, preventing it from touching down. Puzzled, the captain decides to go around, but before he can even climb 100 feet, the plane begins to drop. The passengers sense that something is amiss, but in the cockpit, the pilots know that their situation is dire. Will they be able to make it back into the air, or will they come crashing down onto the runway below, with catastrophic consequences? This is the story of Emirates flight 521.

  1. This was truly pathetic behaviour on the part of the pilots. Apart from the question of what indicators to prioritise in both pilots' observations when doing a go-around, TOGA gives you an oomph, which you FEEL. You always feel it, you never fail to feel it. Unless it isn't there.

  2. I don't know what to say…………? Two pilots and neither look at that throttles? How is this possible? There seems to be a major deficit in pilot training concerning cockpit awareness? A pilot eyes should frequently be surveying the controls in the cockpit starting with the throttles, autopilot, elevation, speed, and the copilot to see if he is still awake.

  3. I remember when this happened. I was on an Emirates 777 just a month earlier and was pretty surprised that something like this could have happened to an airline with such a clean safety record

  4. Hi everyone.,
    I'm a firefighter in Dubai Airports. I was in this accident
    We rescued all passengers, But my friend Jassem Albaloushi He died in this accident I pray to God to have mercy on him🙏🙏🙏

  5. There should be mandatory prison time for passengers who block emergency evacuation by insisting on taking their carry on bags from overhead lockers. Watch the interior videos after the crash….

  6. I wouldn’t describe a system as “cleverly designed” if it should prevent an action when the plane is on the ground, but the action is prevented even though the plane is not on the ground!

  7. Ugh, I can think of at least five different Airbus systems that wouldn’t let this accident happen (same for the SFO incident.)

    Automation can be complex, but its implementation doesn’t need to be. Airbus integrates most of these systems seamlessly behind the scenes in an intuitive way; Boeing has added many additional safety and convenience features while “always keeping the pilot in the loop” – the result of which has become a convoluted mess which is hard to understand and train, though the 787 is much better.

    One thing I’ve gotta call out is your explanation of spoilers as “deflecting the air and pushing the plane into the ground” – being totally incorrect but a really common misconception.

    You might know this, but just for clarification in case anyone is actually curious – people think of them pushing, like moving your hand out a car window and having it pushed down in the wind.

    Their true function is so take a “flying plane” and stop it from “flying” essentially. At landing speed, the wings generate enough lift to, well, keep the plane flying. With the spoilers deployed, they basically erase that ~550,000lbs of lift in this case, and transfer it into the wheels/pavement. No deflection or “pushing” required. They just spoil the wings airflow and lift, hence… spoilers.

    Same thing when spoilers are used for roll maneuvering in conjunction with ailerons, the low wing in a roll input is deploying them to “drop” the wing, while the ailerons are actually “deflecting” the air for roll input. If significant roll is required, you can see those spoilers really pop up. Much more efficient to achieve such roll control in this method versus having huge ailerons.

  8. It took 7 minutes to evacuate for a reason.I saw the cabin footage of this crash landing with passengers screaming in Tamil. Many were trying to pull their hand luggage from the top and blocking the way. I would have criminally charged anyone who made out with their luggage.

  9. Part of the Swiss cheese was the F/O not being the ‘Pilot Monitoring’.
    His focus should have been on all the instruments scanning quickly for anything out of the ordinary. But like the cheese was only one hole…and a BIG ONE at that!😮😅
