An Emirates jetliner carrying more than 225 people had to make an emergency landing after its tail struck the runway as it took off in Australia.
Flight EK407, headed for Dubai, circled the airport at Melbourne to dump fuel before landing safely and without any injuries to passengers.
The accident sent smoke into the A340's cabin and reportedly left debris on the runway, knocking out some lights.
One passenger told the Australian Broadcasting Corp: "It was terrifying."
