Unless the gear had been retracted for a go-around, but aircraft failed to
climb due to windshear. According to some reports.
All souls aboard survived, be thankful.

Subject: [OM] OT: Dubai 777 Crash
I've been watching the footage of the crash of the 777 at Dubai, and
something odd struck me as not right in the footage of the plane coming to a
stop. Then on the evening news, there is serious question as to if the
landing gear was deployed. Looking again closely at the footage, I cannot
see the nose gear doors open. Anyone else notice this?
Seems there was a similar incident with an Air India 747 about four
years ago in New Jersey. A tower controller noticed that there was no
landing gear, made a frantic radio call, and the gear was down and locked a
few seconds before touchdown.
