There are landings so hard that they are surprising, especially given the impacts that a commercial airplane can endure.<\/p>\n

This Tuesday, April 23, at the Los Angeles International Airport, one of those landings could be seen, or more correctly it would be called a \"touch ang go\", as aborted landings are known in aeronautical terms<\/strong>, in which the plane touches the runway but has to take off again, generally because it is going at a high speed and does not have enough space to complete the maneuver, or because the landing angle was not adequate.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the YouTube channel Airline Videos<\/a> was doing a live broadcast of the operations at that airport. At point 56:11 we can see a Boeing 747-830 of the German airline Lufthansa, D-ABYP (MSN 37839)<\/strong> approaching the airport. It is a relatively recent plane, which made its first flight on May 16, 2014. The plane touched the runway in a brutal way with its rear landing gear<\/strong>, raising a large cloud of smoke (i.e. , burning the tires), after which the plane bounced, touched the runway again and resumed the air<\/strong>. I have inserted the video so that it starts playing at that point:<\/p>\n
