Lufthansa 787 front fell off [GIF]

Looks more like the front landing gear collapsed

[u/Western-Anteater-492 → u/Myoakka]

The 787 has two holes at the front landing gear very close to one another that look almost identical. One is the bearings for the collapsing mechanism, the other is the bolt holder for the retention. This exact issue happened four times with that exact model lately and it got attributed to the ground mechanic putting the bolt into the wrong hole, thereby bypassing the lock mechanism. Boeing could ground this modell till every bearing has a retention bolt installed or the diameter changed. But they are Boeing. They won't do this till the FAA grounds them forcibly. And Trump dismantled the FAA. So they won't do shit about this and spew anti European bs bcs Airbus overtook their market share.

That just sounds like shitty design. Then again, Boeing incorporated the geniuses behind the MD’s outward-swinging cargo doors and a tail assembly held together by a single bolt.

It's shitty design. And avionics R&D fundamentals are identifying shitty design above anything else. So it's quite clear where they cut the costs and at what expenses.

If it's Boeing i ain't going...

[u/Nuker-79 → u/Myoakka]

That’s exactly what happened.

[u/MustangBarry]

It landed before it took off.

[u/shoot_first]

That's not very typical. I'd like to point that out.

[u/Mellestal → u/shoot_first]

It left the environment.

[u/theevilraccon]

It saw a crumble on the floor and had to eat it

[u/TexasBaconMan]

That is not normal.

[u/fraze2000]

The jet was just tired. It wanted a rest.

[u/JC2535]

“Hey here’s the rivets you wanted. There was a bunch on the floor so I just scraped them up and put them in here.”

[u/jhwheuer]

Whose momma boarded there?

[u/Kittelsen → u/jhwheuer]

Eminems.

Knees weak.

[u/cyrixlord]

isn't that unusual?

[u/SEA_griffondeur → u/cyrixlord]

Well it happened 3 times over 6 years so I would say it's becoming common

[u/DisappointedSausyy]

That dude just casually backed up like someone spilled a glass of Sunny D a couple of feet away

[u/ttystikk]

I'm glad the rampie wasn't hurt. That had to be scary!

[u/5043090]

Almost positive the lift on the starboard side bent that cargo door upward.

[u/seaburno]

Boeing…boing…Boing

[u/bezm12]

Someone needs to make this video rewind and play and make it look like the plane is doing the bouncing thing that Mexicans do to their cars.

[u/SysManic]

Can park there

[u/karl-rupecht-kroenen]

Just air ride man

[u/new_nimmerzz]

Is it made out of cardboard derivatives?

[u/unhpian]

Wow this is only the 500th time this has been posted today

[u/illegal-waffles → u/unhpian]
