What A Rough Landing

Hqdefault 18

We think this is pilot error.   A live stream caught the moment a Lufthansa Boeing 747 performed a rough landing in Los Angeles.   Everything appeared to be going smoothly until the plane’s back wheels touched down.  Then the plane abruptly jerked upward, its wheels hovering over the ground for a few yards.   The plane lurched downward again, this time both the front and back wheels making contact with the runway. But as soon as the wheels touched down, the plane, which seats 400 passengers and crew, bounced upward. After the second botched landing, the pilot decided to abort and the video showed the plane ascending into the sky.   Lufthansa Flight 456 proceeded to circle the airport and landed without an issue a short time later.
