Jumbo jet’s emergency landing goes horribly wrong in Luxembourg

A Chicago-bound flight had to turn around to Luxembourg Airport and make an emergency landing after the plane was unable to retract its landing gear upon takeoff Sunday evening.

The Cargolux Airlines Boeing 747 plane flew for 52 minutes, dumping fuel over Luxembourg and Belgium so it could get under its maximum landing weight before attempting to touchdown, according to travel news outlet One Mile at a Time.

The hair-raising ordeal continued on the ground when the plane’s right body landing gear snapped and detached from the jet as it tried to touch back down at Luxembourg Airport, according to video footage and a statement from Cargolux.

The Luxembourgian flag carrier cargo airline said the plane “came to a controlled stop and was attended to by the emergency services.”

No one was injured and the mishap is under investigation, officials said.

It was unclear when or if the plane would be cleared to return to service.

The incident came less than a month after another serious landing incident involving a Cargolux Boeing 747.

On April 16, a Cargolux plane bounced as it landed in Luxembourg, causing the left wing to drop and the engine to touch the runway, according to the outlet.

The plane vaulted back up into the air before turning around and landing safely moments later, video showed.
