The front landing gear of a Lufthansa Boeing 787 unexpectedly collapsed on the tarmac at Germany’s Frankfurt Airport due to a technical malfunction. Dramatic video footage captured the moment the aircraft’s nose slammed into the ground, showing a nearby ground worker narrowly escaping injury. Fortunately, reports indicate that the plane was completely empty at the time of the incident. Airport operator Fraport confirmed the collapse occurred shortly before 1:00 p.m. local time and has launched a full investigation to determine the exact cause of the mechanical failure.
