A former flight attendant of Emirates has hailed the airhosts who helped evacuate Flight 521 which crash landed in Dubai airport, and minutes later burst into flames. The plane was flying from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, to Dubai. He has described the Indian travellers as “f*cking rats” and “an untameable bunch”.
