Scary video shows Lufthansa Boeing 747 bounce hard off LAX runway twice during aborted landing expert says is the roughest he’s ever seen

A heartbreaking video captured the dramatic moment a Lufthansa Airlines Boeing 747 violently bounced off the runway at LAX before the landing was aborted.

On Tuesday, the 747-8i, Boeing’s largest “Jumbo Jet,” attempted to land at Los Angeles airport, but the plane hit the runway hard and bounced twice, forcing the pilot to abort.

The terrifying moment was documented in a livestream by Airline Videos Live, a group of aircraft enthusiasts “dedicated to bringing high-quality video” of commercial aviation “to viewers around the world.”

In the video, Lufthansa Flight 456, originating from Frankfurt, Germany, was seen flying towards the runway with its landing gear extended.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the plane’s rear wheels hit the ground, at which point a cloud of white smoke erupted from the wheels.

Then the plane suddenly shot up, its wheels hovering a few feet above the ground.

The plane pitched down again, this time both the front and rear wheels made contact with the runway.

But as soon as the wheels hit the ground, the plane, which seats 400 passengers and crew, bounced up.

After the second failed landing, the pilot decided to abort the landing and the video showed the plane rising into the air.

As the plane bounced down the runway, Kevin Ray, the website’s owner and lead commentator, shouted, “Holy Moly!”

“That’s the roughest landing I think we’ve ever seen on our broadcast,” Ray said, later adding that they could “smell” the burnt rubber on the wheels.

Lufthansa Flight 456 circled the airport and landed a short time later without any problems.

At this time it is unclear whether this incident was the result of a malfunction of the 9-year-old Boeing aircraft or whether it was caused by something else.

Earlier this week there was another charged landing with a Boeing aircraft at an airport in South Africa.

Shortly after takeoff, a Boeing 737 plane lost a wheel and the pilot had to make an emergency landing.

Security personnel at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, noticed on April 21 that the FlySafair aircraft had damaged its undercarriage during takeoff.

After turning back, the pilots made a low pass over the runway so engineers could inspect the damage.

They discovered that one of the four rear wheels had locked during takeoff and ordered the plane to be shot down. But video footage of the landing shows the wheel came apart as the plane tried to taxi down the runway.

The clip shows flight FA212 with smoke billowing from the damaged wheel.

Seconds later there was a huge bang and parts of the wheel flew off as the undercarriage collapsed, causing the aircraft to lean sideways towards the port wing (left wing) and come to a stop near the end of the footage.

Miraculously, no one was injured in the tragedy, local media reported, and the passengers were evacuated and offered another flight.

The two incidents are just the latest involving Boeing, whose reputation has been seriously tarnished after a near-fatal accident early this year.

On January 5, an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to perform an emergency maneuver after an emergency exit door on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft blew off mid-flight.

In the aftermath of the accident, approximately 171 aircraft from the company’s fleet were grounded pending safety investigations and the Federal Aviation Administration placed a limit on aircraft production.

About $30 billion in market value was wiped out in a matter of days, while stock prices have since fallen 25 percent.

Boeing has also had to pay Alaska Airlines $160 million in “initial compensation” over the grounding and passengers on the plane have filed lawsuits, while the US Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation.
