A German agency is investigating the collapse of a Boeing 787 nose gear. This incident involved a Lufthansa Airlines-operated Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Several employees sustained injuries when the nose gear collapsed. The incident occurred while the aircraft was parked at a gate at Frankfurt Airport. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was a North Charleston-built aircraft. It was being prepared for a flight from Germany to Los Angeles. The nose gear reportedly retracted unexpectedly, causing the aircraft to collapse onto its belly. The German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) launched an investigation into the incident. The BFU will determine the exact cause of the nose gear collapse.
