They had barely begun their descent into Dubai when the captain’s voice broke through the cabin: there was a problem with the landing gear. At first, it sounded controlled, almost routine. But as the aircraft hit the runway, bounced, and then skidded, reality shattered. Oxygen masks dropped. Overhead bins flew open. Flames licked the windows as thick smoke flooded the aisles. In that chaos, cabin crew shouted commands, pulled frozen passengers to their feet, and forced them toward the emergency slides as seconds slipped away.Outside, firefighters fought an inferno that could have turned a miracle into a mass grave. Every life pulled from that burning jet depended on their speed and refusal to turn back. One of them paid the ultimate price, dying as he shielded strangers he would never know. Three hundred people lived because, in those few terrifying minutes, courage outran fear.
