Flames and smoke billowed from the stricken Boeing 777 shortly after it came to a stop on the runway. The aircraft left Trivandrum International Airport at 10:19 a.m. and was scheduled to land at 12:50 p.m. in Dubai. Once emergency response teams managed to extinguish the fire, it was clear how deadly the accident could have been: The entire top half of the aircraft's fuselage was missing, with the belly of the plane slumped on the tarmac.
