Multiple Boeing 747 Emergency Landings Result in Landing Gear Malfunctions.
A Cargolux Airlines Boeing 747 plane had to make an emergency landing at Luxembourg Airport after it was unable to retract its landing gear upon takeoff. The plane flew for 52 minutes, dumping fuel over Luxembourg and Belgium so it could get under its maximum landing weight before attempting to touchdown. However, the plane's right body landing gear snapped and detached from the jet as it tried to touch back down at the airport. No one was injured, and the mishap is under investigation.
