If anyone's interested, a (non-fatal) crash landing and fire are being reported at Dubai airport today:

There's a still on that page showing the remains - it looks like the entire upper fuselage down to window level was burned off...
Looking at it, it's amazing they got everyone off quickly enough.
A witness in a nearby plane reported an "explosion" after the evacuation though of course that was probably a flash fire.
(Boeing 777-300 by the way. There is some mention of a wheels-up landing but nothing firm at the moment.)
