Original: Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 Escapes Tail Strike By Inches At LAX As Pilots Abort Landing
A Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 reportedly came within inches of a tail strike at Los Angeles International Airport after its pilots aborted a landing. The widebody's rear fuselage is said to have nearly contacted the runway during the go-around, an incident aviation watchers say highlights how close such manoeuvres can come to serious damage.
