a cazut la cateva sute de metri de un cartier de vile unde stau o parte din pilotii de la Emirates.
sunt in dubai acum si urmaresc evenimentul de aici.

avionul era in drum spre Koln, si s-a intors din drum inapoi la dubai dupa ce a raportat ca are probleme cu instrumentele de zbor (radio si navigatie, inclusiv indicarea altitudinii). era in aer de vreo ora pana la momentul prabisirii. au venit sus si cu mare viteza la aterizare si au ratat prima incercare, dupa care ATC-ul le-a spus sa se intoarca si sa aterizeze in Sharjah, care e la cativa km de Dubai. avionul s-a prabusit la scurt timp in timp ce facea virajul.
crew-ul, doi piloti, au murit la impact.
avionul incepuse deja sa faca jettison si a facut-o pana la momentul impactului.
se pare ca pilotii au raportat un incediu la bord.

Smoke in the cockpit and an inability to maintain altitude forced a UPS Boeing 747-400 crew to attempt a return to Dubai before the aircraft crashed near the airport, killing both pilots.

Evidence that a fire on board the 747 preceded the 3 September accident has been disclosed by the United Arab Emirates' General Civil Aviation Authority.

The cockpit-voice recorder was retrieved six hours after the crash but investigators are still trying to locate the flight-data recorder, the authority states.

UPS' flight 6 to Cologne/Bonn departed Dubai International Airport at 18:53. But less than 25min after take-off, at 19:15, information relayed from the Bahrain flight information region stated that the jet was intending to return to Dubai.

The GCAA says the aircraft had "smoke in the cockpit" and was "unable to maintain altitude".

United Arab Emirates air traffic control cleared the aircraft to land while it was some 40km (22nm) from Dubai.

But the GCAA says the aircraft was "high on the approach" - still at 8,500ft while 24km from the airport - and it overflew the airport "very high" before conducting a right turn.

It says the crew was informed that all runways at Dubai were available to the aircraft, but the 747 headed southwest and "rapidly lost altitude" before controllers lost radar contact at 19:42, 49min since departure.

The impact point, between Emirates Road and Al Ain Highway, is unpopulated and lies to the southwest of Dubai International Airport and north of the Al Minhad military air base.

US investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board are assisting the UAE authorities in the inquiry.

investigatia la fata locului arata ca avionul a avut o zona de contact initiala, dupa care s-a ridicat iar insa s-a prabusit la scurt timp in apropiere. pilotii au atins solul dupa care probabil au pus TOGA insa avionul nu a prins altitudine.
nasoala treaba.
e de neinteles la momentul actual ptr ca pilotii aveau alternativa mai aproape de aterizare in DOH sau BAH.
