Narrative:
A Boeing 747-44AF (SCD) cargo plane, registered N571UP, was destroyed in an accident shortly after takeoff from Dubai Airport (DXB), UAE. Two crew members were on board and feared dead according to news sources..
UPS Flight UPS6 took from Dubai at 18:53 local time on an international cargo flight to Köln/Bonn-Konrad Adenauer Airport (CGN) Germany.
The flight transited from UAE airspace into Bahrain Airspace where, at 19:15, an emergency was declared indicating a smoke on board. The aircraft turned back to Dubai (OMDB) and remained on Bahrain (OBBI) frequency as they were unable to change. UAE ACC and OMDB APP sent their instructions via relay to OBBI ACC and other aircraft to UPS6. UAE ACC issued a clearance to land when the aircraft was approximately 40 kilometer from touchdown. The aircraft was high on the approach and was at 8500ft at 24 kilometer from touchdown. He arrived from the west lining up for runway 12 however arrived in the overhead at approximately A030 and 400kts. It overshot OMDB and continued southeast before descending (at one point 5000 FPM) leveling off briefly and descending again and then impacting very close to a esidential area (Silicon Oasis) and near Minhad Air Force Base at 19:42.
