Emirates airline says accident has happened at Dubai airport
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The Mideast's biggest airline, Emirates, is confirming that a flight from India with 275 passengers on board was involved in an accident at Dubai's main airport.
It gave no details on the fate of those onboard Flight EK521 from the southern Indian city of Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.
Video posted online shows black smoke billowing from what looked like an Emirates jetliner lying on its belly on the runway.

The Dubai government's official media office said on Twitter that all passengers were "evacuated safely and no injuries have been reported so far." It said authorities are "dealing with the incident at the moment to ensure safety of all."
Dubai International is by far the Mideast's busiest airport, and is the world's busiest air hub in terms of international passenger traffic
