Amid continuous and what seems like weekly turmoil at Boeing, which includes another whistleblower's death, new probes by the Federal Aviation Administration, and a series of mid-air mishaps with various Boeing planes, a 787 cargo plane in Turkey suffered a landing gear malfunction, resulting in the plane landing on its nose.
Daily Mail reports the Boeing 767 cargo plane took off from Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport earlier this morning and was headed to Istanbul when the pilot realized a malfunction.
Dramatic footage has been posted on X, showing the pilot landing on the main landing gear and keeping the nose of the plane up as long as possible because of the malfunctioning front landing gear.

The plane belonging to the American postal company Fedex was on a flight from Paris. It landed only at the second attempt and "pecked" its nose into the runway. There were no casualties. pic.twitter.com/d1OsgUrxVq
The plane's nose then slammed onto the runway at Istanbul, eventually sliding to a stop.
