WRONG! Fault doesn't have to be in EK's court for them to be responsible for re-accomodation.

I, for certain, know that not all passengers made it. OP was a passenger and he didn't make it.

The cases don't need to be similar. You made the blanket statement in regards to EK:

The cases I pointed out show that EK certainly is responsible in many cases where things are completely outside of their control. Why don't you point out in the COC where it shows EK only has a responsibility to delivery their customers to the tarmac, it is a reasonable expectation that the transportation from JFK to DXB ins't complete until the passenger is delivered to the terminal.

And if he got on the F bus and that was the bus that got stuck from the accident, but the J bus made it just fine, what then? EK would have told him that many others made the connection just fine and he is a no-show. Same difference.

Absolutely disagree. OP made a series of choices that randomly led to this outcome. None of them poor. Had he been seated in J the outcome would have been exactly the same without making any of the "poor" decisions you claim he made.
