Nice shot, B747 has officially surrendered to the A380! :)

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun August 10, 2008:
Nose down loading? Look again, I'ld say. Good picture though. Indeed a sorry loss of money, but I guess in L'burg they don't realy mins ;-)

A visitor from Indonesia posted Wed May 3, 2006:
Brand new 747 version. It's produced to be comparable with AN124 with nose-down loading ability. Good shot

A visitor from Canada posted Sun April 16, 2006:
I remember seeing this in an episode of Simpsons :-)

A visitor from South Africa posted Thu February 23, 2006:
Showing the actual fuel coming out the plane. Very odd to see that and scary

A visitor from Luxembourg posted Fri February 10, 2006:
Really sad to see my favourite Airline lying on the ground because someone forgot to pull on the gearpinns. That will cost a lot of money

A visitor from Germany posted Tue January 31, 2006:
A Chinese mechanic apparently confused the gear door lever, which is located in the gear bay, with the gear lever in the cockpit...

A visitor from Germany posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Reminds me on the story of the young pilot who bet "it's impossible to retract the gear when aircraft is on ground" - and so he pulled the gear lever...

A visitor from Colombia posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Woa! that hurts!

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Plain and simple,its great!

A visitor from Spain posted Fri January 27, 2006:
WOW!

That.....HURTS!!!!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Sad picture. Weight on Wheel sensor should prevent a gear up on the ground. I'd love to know the reason

A visitor from India posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Its looks awsome- as if the 747 is squatting down!

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
It didn't have to be a big bang - normally a nose landing gear carries about 10% of total weight, and it also depends on how the cargo was distributed inside the fuselage at the time of the bang.

A visitor from Singapore posted Fri January 27, 2006:
While you guys load me up, please allow me to sit down & take a breather!

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Fri January 27, 2006:
I just can't imagine when the moment it fell down. Luckily it's a carge flight. But if it's full of passengers waiting for getting off, that must be some injuries.

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Oh My gosh.... thats a few thousand dollars

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Thats what happens when you attempt a gear swing without the jacks. DOH!!

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Great picture... But...WHY?!?!?!?!

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
The main landing gear is visible in the right side of the photograph. My quess is that the NLG had a hydraulic failure causing the nose to come to rest on the ground in a puddle of hydraulic fluid.

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Not the way I like to see my 47's!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri January 27, 2006:
What a pitty to see her lying. She looks kind of sad. I love the 747!!

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 27, 2006:
Right place at the right time.

A visitor from Mexico posted Fri January 27, 2006:
The engine did touch the ground. Just a little bit but it toucherd it. I hate to see 747s like this. T.B.

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Nice photo good job

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Is this plane really this big?? i have never seen it in real life!

A visitor from Germany posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Great shot! I guess somebody forgot to lock the gear pins...

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Oops. Interesting photo though, surprised there's not more damage to the a/c

A visitor from - posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Damn!!! Did the pilots forget they were on the ground and tried to retract the gear?

A visitor from Luxembourg posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Poor LX-TCV, bad to see him like this.

A visitor from France posted Thu January 26, 2006:
That must have been quite a bang. BTW, it`s not fuel on the ground, that is hydraulic fluid. You`ll not find fuel in the NLG area!!!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Looks painful. Glad no one was underneath it!
A great shot of what a huge bird the 744 is. Looks really pretty from this angle too, but would likely look much better if she wasn't laying on the ground ;)

A visitor from Belgium posted Thu January 26, 2006:
Yeah that´s true, really awfull to see our home-compagnie plane like this. BTW, nice picture :)

Manu from Luxembourg

A visitor from Luxembourg posted Thu January 26, 2006:
That's awful to see TCV lying on the ground.
