Video footage inside the cabin of an Emirates plane after it crash-landed in Dubai shows panicked passengers scrambling to evacuate via emergency exits.
The video was uploaded to YouTube on Aug. 4, and shows passengers of flight EK521 grabbing their personal belongings in the overhead compartments as smoke filled the cabin.
A voice can be heard telling passengers to leave their luggage behind and to evacuate the aircraft.
“Jump and slide! Jump! Jump! Jump!,” says an unidentified woman. “Leave your bags behind! Jump and slide! Jump and slide!”
The footage then show the moment passengers hurriedly exit the plane via an emergency chute. A child is heard crying as well as a view shot of the engine engulfed with flames.
The Boeing 777 aircraft departed from Trivandrum International Airport in India on Aug. 3 en route to Dubai International Airport with an expected arrival time of 12:50 p.m. local time. However, an “operational incident” caused the plane to catch fire shortly before landing.
All 282 passengers and 18 crew members on board were safe. However, a firefighter, Jassim Al-Baloushi, died while responding to the emergency.
