Emirates B777 gear collapse @ DXB?
Just received a message from a friend at Dubai airport that the Emirates 777 had landed with the gear collapsing and would have caught fire? Any info anyone?

On paper it all works out beautifully....if you are the only one diverting...

Twitter seems to think everyone got out alright. Let's hope so.
There appears not to have been a 7700 squawk.

He probably was talking about the involved aircraft as he posted the FR24 radar track. No holding could hint that there were no prior indications that something was wrong?

OMDB 030900Z 11021KT 3000 BLDU NSC 49/07 Q0993 WS ALL RWY TEMPO 35015KT 1500
110/21 then 350/15 tempo with WS. Surely this has something to do with it, if they had a tech issue, probably time to divert.
