DUBAI — An Emirates jetliner arriving from India caught fire after slumping onto the runway in Dubai yesterday, killing one firefighter in an intense blaze and bringing the world’s busiest international airport to a halt for several hours. The Dubai carrier’s first significant accident happened after the crew apparently attempted to abort the landing for a second attempt amid unconfirmed witness reports of landing gear problems.
