Landing Cargolux 747 touches van - here's a picture
You might have heard about the incident in LUX yesterday where a landing Cargolux Boeing 747-400F touched the roof of a maintenance van with its main gear tires.
A picture of the damaged van now appeared on PPRuNe and shows that this was indeed a very close call with disaster.
Update: Wort.lu writes that a nose gear tire of the plane had to be replaced and that the incident was apparently caused by "communication problems" between the tower and the aircraft, though it is not clear yet if human or technical failure is to blame.
