DUBAI, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- All 282 passengers and 18 crew members aboard an Emirates Airline plane that crash-landed on Monday at Dubai International
Airport have been safely evacuated, the airline said.
"We can confirm that there are no fatalities among our passengers and crew," Emirates said in a statement. "All passengers and crew are accounted for and
safe."
A fire on the Boeing 777-300 was put out at 14:32 local time (1032 GMT), the government-run Dubai Media Office said.
The plane, flying from Thiruvananthapuram, India, to Dubai, was involved in "an incident" at the Dubai airport at 12:45 local time (0845 GMT), Emirates
earlier said on its Twitter account.
The passengers come from 20 countries, including 224 from India, 24 from Britain, and 11 from the UAE, the Emirates said.
Dubai-based TV channel Al Arabiya said the crash-landing site was not on the main runway.
According to local daily Gulf News, the Boeing 777-300 was delivered to Emirates in March 2003.
All departure flights from Dubai have been delayed until further notice, and some flights coming to Dubai International were diverted to Dubai's second air
hub, Al Maktoum International Airport.
Emirates uses Al Maktoum only for cargo flights but so far not for regular passenger flights.
"We are expecting a(n) 8-hour network-wide delay," Emirates said.Earlier incidents at Dubai airport included a crash on Sept. 3, 2010, of a UPS cargo jet shortly after take-off from Dubai, killing two on board.
The other one happened on March 12, 2007, involving a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane at take-off, led to the injury of 14 passengers. The airport had
to be closed off for eight hours.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- London 2012 Olympic silver medalist Jessica Fox from Australia survived the heats in the women's K1 of the 2016
Olympic Games canoe slalom competition here on Monday.
Fox, the 2015 world champion, was handed a two-second penalty for touching a pole and finished in eighth place in the first run. She came from behind to
secure a second place in the second run and was second placed overall to qualify
for the semifinals.
"I made a big mistake in my first run so I knew I had to put down a good second run to qualify," said Fox.
"I was actually a bit uncertain before my (second run) start if I was qualified. I was trying to do the maths to see if I was well enough placed or
not to be in the top 15, and in the end I thought I should stop thinking about
that and just focus on my run."added she.
Stefanie Horn from Italy surprisingly became the leader in the event.In the men's C2, Slovakian cousins Ladislav Skantar and Peter Skantar posted the fastest time of the heats in their first run to qualify ahead of Olympic
debutants Gauthier Klauss and Matthieu Peche from France.
"It was quite good because it was very hard to make the first run in the Olympic Games," Peche said. "It is a big race so I think we made a good one. The
second run was better so we'll see for the next few days and the semifinals."
