I saw it yesterday on the news

The plane was carrying a lot of flammable products and pilots had been recommended not to land by the control tower, but they still wanted to try. It took two hours to Narita firefighters to go out the fire

Wow no good.

The other night at work there was an incident with Emirates and I can say it was most likely Toll Dnatas fault because of the way the aircrafts freight was loaded. There was too much weight at the rear of the hold of the aircraft and affected the balance. As I work for a major airline I know how important balancing the zones of an aircraft is, not just for the hold but for the cabin as well, especially for the takeoff and landing. Anyways the incident with the Emirates Airbus A340 jetliner struck its tail upon the runway as it took off from Melbourne Airport. More than 225 people were on board. Flight EK407, which was departing for Dubai, had to circle around the airport for 45 minutes, dumping fuel, before making an emergency landing.There were no reports of injuries, but most of the runway lights were knocked out during the incident.
