The Boeing 'belly-landed' without landing gears and caught fire. Eye-witnesses told the Mirror that they saw huge plumes of smoke rising from the plane before it crashed down onto the runway.
The exact cause of the accident is still unclear. Emirates confirmed the incident but gave no details. Footage taken from the scene shows smoke pluming out of the aircraft.
