Lufthansa 787 nose-gear collapse at Frankfurt: investigators cite misplaced locking pin during maintenance

German investigators say a nose-gear collapse of a Lufthansa Boeing 787 at Frankfurt last month involved a safety locking pin that was not inserted into the correct hole during maintenance while engineers were working on the aircraft at the gate. The pin was reportedly still in its storage box/toolbox when the landing gear was retracted.

Boeing 737 MAX 8 final report: crew did not update FMS performance data for intersection departure, producing a near-failure tak UK investigators say a Boeing 737 MAX 8 nearly failed to take off after the crew accepted an intersection departure from Runway 25 but did not update flight-management system performance data. The result was insufficient thrust and a takeoff that crossed the runway threshold at about 13 ft (4 m), following a change from full-length to intersection takeoff in April 2025.
