After the incident, the runway at Luxembourg airport was closed for some time.
An emergency occurred with a Cargolux cargo plane on departure from Luxembourg airport. The landing gear wheels did not fold, as they usually do. The pilots decided to return to the airport of departure.
10 minutes before landing, they dumped fuel to reduce the weight of the aircraft. The pilots followed all necessary emergency procedures to ensure a safe landing. However, when landing, the landing gear wheels on the right side began to “download”, since one of the two main landing gear nodes was damaged. As a result, four wheels came off the plane, which flew along the runway.
Fortunately, despite what happened, the plane stopped safely using the remaining wheels. However, after the incident, the runway at Luxembourg airport was closed for some time.
Previously, Cursor also reported on an emergency on board a plane flying to Israel. One of the passengers aboard a United Airlines flight from New York to Israel acted aggressively, yelled and demanded to smoke, and then threatened to destroy the plane. The situation was so dangerous that the pilot decided to land in Madrid, Spain, to get the brawler off the board. The brawler was removed from the flight and left on the ground, while the rest of the passengers remained in their seats, waiting for the continuation of the flight. Fortunately, thanks to the prompt actions of the aircraft team, the flight was continued towards Ben Gurion Airport.
One of the passengers, Yosef, spoke about the incident on social media. According to him, at first, many of the passengers were outraged by the behavior of the brawler. However, after it became known about his mental illness, they realized that it was not his fault and changed their attitude towards the incident. Fortunately, thanks to the vigilance of the aircraft crew and the staff of the Madrid airport, all passengers remained safe and sound, despite a slight delay in the schedule.
