BERLIN (AP) — German airline Lufthansa said several employees were injured Thursday after the nose gear of a Boeing jet suddenly gave way while the aircraft was parked at a gate in Frankfurt, sending the front tip of the plane crashing down to the ground.
Only crew members and ground staff were on board the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner when the plane's nose fell ahead of passenger boarding for a scheduled flight to Los Angeles. The flight was later canceled.
"Several employees were injured and are currently receiving medical attention," Lufthansa said, adding that it and relevant authorities were investigating the circumstances of the incident.
