Not sure what happened, they apparently had an emergency after takeoff and returned to land. Some form of manfunction with the gear happened when they landed closing down the runway.
Runway is now clear so I dont think it could have been a wheels up landing either.
Any photos about of the 747 (TF-ARJ) wheels up landing today at Nairobi - Jomo Kenyatta Airport (NBO/HKNA) ?
