The fact that there was no loss of passenger life shows just how important it is to follow proper evacuation procedures. Congratulations to all airline and rescue crew involved. My condolences to the family of the firefighter.

 

Yes, a miracle it was not worse...

Some footage clearly shows an explosion that blew off a wing that went skywards and cartwheeled before hitting the ground, probably this is what killed the fire fighter.

 

Nat Geo recently ran a Fly-on-the-Wall documentary called Ultimate Airport Dubai, part of it featured some new recruit fire fighters under going weeks of training, many if not all were from 3rd world African countries.
