Several Lufthansa employees were injured Thursday when the nose gear of a parked Boeing 787 Dreamliner collapsed at a gate at Frankfurt Airport.
The German airline said only crew members were on board the aircraft at the time of the apparent gear failure, which dropped the jet’s nose several yards to the ground.
Alleged video of the incident shared by TMZ shows the landing gear rolling forward before the nose comes down. A ground worker can be see backing up quickly to get out of the way.
The injured employees are receiving medical attention, Lufthansa said. The carrier did not specify exactly how many people were affected.
The 787 was scheduled to depart for Los Angeles Thursday afternoon. The aircraft is about a year old, according to the Associated Press.
