A Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Los Angeles had a “rough landing” earlier this week at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the airline confirmed.
The Boeing 747-8 was caught on camera Tuesday by LA-based Airline Videos Live, bouncing off the runway and attempting to land again before taking off, circling around the airport and then finally landing safely after its second attempt.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” the video’s commentator said. “That is the roughest landing I think we have ever caught on our broadcast. Holy moly.”
Flight LH 456 had 326 passengers and 19 crew members on board during what was referred to as a “training flight,” a statement provided to FOX 11 Los Angeles said.
