Why inferior flights are used by Emirates in Indian sector...The comments about Indian passengers waiting for their bags to be picked are in bad taste...Racist pigs!
Emirates crash-landing incident brings to light the deep-rooted racism against Indians
August 7, 2016
Three hundred people, 226 of them Indians, had a narrow escape on Wednesday when a packed Thiruvananthapuram-Dubai Emirates flight crash-landed and caught fire. All 300 people on board were evacuated safely and immediately. Video footage & pictures showed smoke billowing out of the Boeing 777 after the accident.
While the cause of the accident is not yet clear, pictures of the plane indicated that the front landing gear collapsed which caused the plane to slide.
Soon, a video of the same incident went viral where passengers were heard screaming ‘laptop’ and even trying to get their bags from the overhead compartments. Even while, others were trying to make a dash for the emergency exit.
The video shows cabin crew and people trying to tell the passengers to “leave their bags, jump on the slide… this way this way”. The nerve-chilling video was shared by thousands of people, including one flight attendant from Abu Dhabi. In the post, the guy criticized Indians, calling them ‘rats’, for trying to collect their bags instead of getting back to safety instantly.
After the rant was criticized by several people on social media, the flight attendant deleted the post and apologized for it.

But that’s not the end of it. If the allegations levelled by former union minister Shashi Tharoor against the airlines are true, then the airlines Emirates need to do some explaining about this discrimination. The minister, in a Facebook post, wrote that the aircraft operating on its Kerala routes are of “visibly inferior to the aircraft on Emirates’ European sectors”. Read full post here:
While a lot of people debated on social media about the reason why the passengers lunged for their bags, risking their lives, this guy’s take on the whole incident will give you a fresh perspective. In 25 tweets, Twitter user Praveen Gopal Krishnan from Bengaluru explained the reason why passengers behaved the way they did
