Emirates flight to Washington flew too low and fast over city-state: Report

In December, a long-haul Emirates flight heading to Washington flew incredibly low. The Boeing 777 failed to properly climb and flew close to the city-state before later gaining altitude over the sea, the investigators acknowledged this on February 17. However, no one was injured in the December 19 flight, but such low altitudes and high speeds can cause damage to an aircraft and increase the risk of striking a tall building.
