Lufthansa takeoff incident in Frankfurt
Overview
A Lufthansa flight (LH1264) traveling from Frankfurt to Salzburg was forced to abort its takeoff after a tire on the nose landing gear burst while the aircraft was accelerating on the runway. The aircraft reached a speed of approximately 133 km/h, which remained below the critical V1 decision speed, allowing the plane to stop safely on the runway.
The incident required heavy emergency braking and a response from police and fire departments. Former racing driver Ralf Schumacher, who was among the 153 passengers and crew, reported via Instagram that the braking was very intense and caused the brakes to overheat.
Lufthansa confirmed that all passengers and crew members were unharmed. Following the emergency stop, the aircraft was towed back to the terminal, and travelers were rebooked on alternative flights. Schumacher praised the professionalism of the flight crew during the event.
