Emergency services responded, and an investigation is underway, highlighting challenges in operating new aircraft models.

An unforeseen incident unfolded at Frankfurt airport on Thursday when a Boeing 787 jetliner's nose gear collapsed at the gate.

According to the operator, Lufthansa, the aircraft was unoccupied by passengers at the time, though several staff members suffered injuries requiring medical attention. Emergency vehicles quickly surrounded the aircraft, which was partially resting on its belly.

Scheduled for Los Angeles as flight LH450, the incident has prompted an investigation by Lufthansa and relevant authorities, as the airline plans to phase out less efficient jets.
