A Vietnam Airlines aircraft had to return shortly after taking off from Munich Airport. According to Münchner Merkur, the tires and landing gear of the plane were damaged, while the cause of the incident is still unclear.

According to reports from Tagesspiegel, however, the incident in Munich could have posed a serious danger. An expert assessed that a disaster was narrowly avoided. The landing of the aircraft was ultimately safe, with no injuries reported.

The press reports that the faulty takeoff of the Boeing passenger plane could have led to considerable danger, potentially resulting in a fireball and hundreds of deaths. Additionally, the release of thousands of liters of kerosene for the emergency landing has sparked discussions. A more detailed overview of the technical aspects of the incident is still pending.
