"Jump! Jump!
Jump! Leave your bags behind!" the woman shouts, seconds after
the burning plane came to rest on the runway of Dubai
International Airport after a flight from Thiruvananthapuram in
southern India.
The aisles of the plane are packed with a crush of people, some
of them screaming, and oxygen masks have deployed from the
ceiling of the cabin, which is dimly lit as electric lighting
has been extinguished.
The passenger who took the video keeps his camera on as he
slides down an inflatable emergency chute from a door of the
plane, past a wing on which an engine can be seen burning.
At the bottom of the chute, passengers shout out as they search
for relatives and help each other away from the crash site.
All 300 passengers and crew were safely evacuated from the
plane, though one firefighter was killed on the ground.
Authorities said they were investigating Wednesday's crash,
which occurred after the crew apparently attempted
unsuccessfully to abort a landing.
