Video: Cargolux Boeing 747 Damaged During Landing at Luxembourg

A Cargolux Boeing 747 freighter experienced a landing incident at Luxembourg Airport, which was caught on video and is now circulating on social media. The aircraft attempted a go-around and managed to land safely moments later, with no reported injuries.

The video footage shows the Cargolux Boeing 747 freighter approaching Luxembourg Airport for a landing. During the initial touchdown, the aircraft appears to bounce, causing the pilots to initiate a go-around maneuver. The aircraft then climbs back into the air, circles the airport, and successfully lands on a second attempt.

It is not yet clear what caused the initial bounce during the landing, but weather conditions and possible crosswinds could have played a role in the incident. The aircraft sustained damage, though the extent of the damage is not immediately apparent in the video.

Cargolux, a Luxembourg-based cargo airline, is known for operating a fleet of Boeing 747 freighter aircraft. The airline has a strong safety record and is a major player in the global air cargo industry.

As of now, no official statement has been released by Cargolux or the airport authorities regarding the incident. Further details about the cause of the landing difficulties are expected to emerge in the coming days.
