14:07Now PlayingA Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner suffered a nose landing gear collapse while parked at a gate at Frankfurt Airport around 12:45 p.m. local time on June 4. The aircraft was preparing to operate flight LH450 from Frankfurt to Los Angeles when the nose gear suddenly gave way, causing the front of the aircraft to drop onto the ramp.
Key facts known so far:
The aircraft involved was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
It was parked at the gate and not moving.
Passengers had not yet boarded.
Several crew members and ground personnel were injured and received medical treatment.
The scheduled flight to Los Angeles was canceled.
Lufthansa and the relevant authorities have opened an investigation into the cause.
Video circulating online appears to show the nose gear retracting or collapsing unexpectedly while the aircraft was stationary. Some aviation observers have noted similarities to a 2021 British Airways 787 incident at Heathrow, where an improperly positioned nose gear downlock pin allowed the nose gear to retract while the aircraft was on the ground. However, there is currently no evidence that the Frankfurt event was caused by the same issue, and investigators have not released any findings.
One detail that makes this especially noteworthy is that the aircraft appears to have been very new. Multiple reports identify it as D-ABPQ ("Herne"), a Dreamliner delivered to Lufthansa earlier this year.
