All of a sudden the plane accelerated from landing speed to take off speed right when everyone thought the plane was about to touch down. It was so unexpected and honestly pretty scary to most of the passengers by how sudden that happened. No announcement prior or after the relaunch either.

Seems like it wasn't far off from being an Emirates Flight 521. Isn't it a bit premature to conclude whether the pilot was in control or not?

Wow, I love engineers and what figure out they can achieve. This is the material´s resistance cutting edge. The team also is brilliant. All in all man & machine are a good duet.

Looks like he had a high sink rate at the end, which resulted in a harder-than-normal touchdown. It looked like a stable approach, until it's about 10 - 20 feet above touchdown, at which time it looks like he suddenly reduced the power to idle thrust, causing the sink rate to increase. The problem is that after he hit the ground, he moved the control yoke from almost full-aft to full-forward, and then back again. Initially, the elevator, which is on the horizontal stabilizer, is "up" (resulting in a nose up attitude); then, he quickly moves the yoke forward to lower the nose (elevator moves down, to a nose down attitude), seemingly to reduce the impact, which has already happened. This action, called "porpoising" is so-called because it resembles a porpoise jumping up out of the water and then diving in again, is when the aircraft's attitude moving rapidly from nose up to nose down to nose up, again. If left unchecked, this will result in structural damage to the aircraft, especially the fuselage, between the nose gear and main landing gear. This nose-up, nose-down motion is worsened by the wing spoilers, which rise up when the main wheels touch down; then they quickly retract, when the airplane lifts off again (spoilers "up", nose moves up; spoilers "down", nose moves down). The proper action was to abandon the landing and go around -- that action probably saved the airplane from structural damage. Good recovery!

Could the high sink rate have been caused by a sudden downdraft as it did seem quite windy there.

This hard landing of this B747-8 was coming in some German news as well. I've watched this hard landing approach at your stream too. You make with distance the best live stream at an Airport. Really.

Incredible

The 2nd landing almost ended up like the 1st ... large pitch up instead of a smooth flare. Very strange to see.

One of the last Boeing's great.

This was a truly unbelievable moment! Glad I caught it live!

What a chilling experience ! I regularly fly back to Europe and I had experienced sometimes tough landings but never like this one . I can only imagine being inside this plane especially after a 11 hours flight. I am glad the second attempt was successful and that everyone was safe 🙏🏻

Every landing is unique. When in doubt, go around. Great footage of real-world flying. Thanks!

When I was stationed in Lahr Germany (West Germany back then), in the 80's Lufthansa would come and use our airfield to practice touch and go's as well as missed approaches. It was amazing to see 747's being flown like that. After watching this a few times I always felt safe on a Lufthansa flights.😁👍

Who else likes airplane noise?

That's going to leave a mark

Oooouch!😮 Happy she landed smoothly and safely❤

I lived close to the end of the runway at Oakland back in the 70’s. When a 747 took off, I never had to look to see what aircraft it was. The sound told me. It was a beautiful, distinctive sound. I can still hear it.

I have flown LAX-FRA-LAX on this aircraft many times and each and every time the landing was butter. I don't know what happened this time but it shows you how the old Boeing's were built tough. Whoever took over the controls at the instant of the bounce earns every Euro he is paid. Excellent save.

Fortunately the landing gear of these beasts is robust and strong enough to withstand a strong impact like that, excellent work by the pilot in getting airborne again and avoiding a worse incident.

I get a couple of these over my house each week, cargo from Germany. At 3000 ft, descending, power back, they sound so sweet. I can tell it's different from any other plane, I step out and watch it. Queeny.
