Lufthansa Boeing 747 Flight Bound For Chicago O’Hare Returns to Frankfurt Airport

The aircraft safely landed at Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

The airline sent a replacement aircraft, another Boeing 737-800, to take the passengers to Las Vegas.

While the first officer told the NTSB that he thought the runway was wet, the captain told the investigators that it was dry.

While the MD-82 was already written off, the Boeing 727 was also damaged beyond repair.

The drone operator has so far eluded detection after the extremely dangerous near-miss.

While a rarity, there are cases where investigators were unable to determine with confidence a probable cause of incident.

Delta Air Lines was forced to use a substitute aircraft, another Airbus A330-900 to complete this and a subsequent flight between AMS and JFK.

Crosswinds are believed to be the cause of the accident.

The aircraft landed safely, with no reported injuries.
