RT by @SpaethFlies: Note being slipped under door at the Dubai Airport hotel... Emirates is bringing back flights to Manchester, London Heathrow (twice), Paris CDG, Frankfurt, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jeddah and Munich with exact times. If your city isn’t listed, wait in your room.
If you are not officially contacted by your airline than wait in the room.
I have to say, Emirates internal management is incredibly efficient... they quickly adjusted restaurant hours and staff deployment for the huge influx of stranded guests, food is replenished regularly and proactively.
In the middle of all this uncertainty, seeing that level of calm efficiency actually gives real hope.

RT by @SpaethFlies: Wreck of an Air France cargo B-747 destroyed in Chennai, India, in 1999. I had never seen this image. Accident occurred after a "nose gear up landing". All 6 aboard were able to evacuate safely, but the jet caught fire and Airport SAR were unable to contain it. As a note, the cargo included 20 tons of cigarettes.
More info on the BAAA ACRO description below ⬇️
"The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Paris to Chennai with intermediate stops in Karachi and Bangalore, carrying five crew members and a load of various goods including three cars, 20 tons of cigarettes, chemicals and clothing for a total weight of 66 tons.
The aircraft was cleared for a runway 07 ILS approach, but the approach was abandoned due to indications that the undercarriage was not down and locked. The flight crew concluded that all gear were down and locked despite a red GEAR light on the forward instrument panel.
The crew had failed to recognize that the green GEAR DOWN light for the nose gear was not illuminated and assumed that the red GEAR light on the forward instrument panel was a false indication. The gear was recycled, but an alternate extension was not attempted. The pilot positioned the airplane for another approach.
The aircraft touched down with the nose gear retracted. The nose struck the runway. The plane skidded and came to rest at 7000 feet down the runway (which is 13050 feet long). As the pilot informed the ATC of the mishap, he noticed smoke in the cockpit. Even as the smoke was being extinguished, flames erupted in the front portion of the aircraft.
One of the crewmembers came down through a rope ladder from the cockpit, the other four were brought down through the rear of the aircraft using the fire engine step ladders. The fire services were not able to extinguish the fire and the plane burned out completely."
