Description:
A heart-stopping video caught the dramatic moment a Lufthansa Airlines Boeing 747 violently bounced off the runway at LAX before aborting the landing. <br/><br/>On Tuesday, the 747, Boeing's largest 'Jumbo Jet,' was attempting to land at Los Angeles Airport, but the plane struck the runway hard and bounced twice, forcing the pilot to abort.<br/><br/>The frightening moment was documented in a livestream by Airline Videos Live, a group of airplane enthusiasts 'dedicated to bringing high-quality video' of commercial aviation 'to viewers worldwide.'<br/><br/>In the video, Lufthansa Flight 456, which originated in Frankfurt, Germany, could be seen sweeping down toward the runway with its landing gear extended.<br/><br/>Everything appeared to be going smoothly until the plane's back wheels touched down, at which point a cloud of white smoke burst from the wheels.<br/><br/>Then the plane abruptly jerked upward, its wheels hovering over the ground for a few yards. <br/><br/>The plane lurched downward again, this time both the front and back wheels making contact with the runway.<br/><br/>But as soon as the wheels touched down, the plane, which seats 400 passengers and crew, bounced upward.<br/><br/>After the second botched landing, the pilot decided to abort and the video showed the plane ascending into the sky. <br/><br/>While the plane bounced along the runway, Kevin Ray, the website's owner and chief commentator, shouted: 'Holy Moly!'<br/><br/>'That is the roughest landing I think we've ever caught on our broadcast,' said Ray, later adding that they could 'smell' the burnt rubber from the wheels.<br/><br/>Lufthansa Flight 456 proceeded to circle the airport and landed without an issue a short time later.<br/><br/>As of right now, it is unclear whether this incident was the result of some malfunction with the 9-year-old Boeing plane or if it was caused by something else.<br/><br/>Earlier this week, there was another fraught landing with a Boeing plane at an airport in South Africa.<br/><br/>Moments after take-off, a Boeing 737 plane lost a wheel and the pilot was forced to execute an emergency landing.<br/><br/>Safety staff at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, noticed the FlySafair aircraft had damaged its undercarriage on take off on 21st April.<br/><br/>After being ordered back, the pilots made a low pass over the runway so engineers could inspect the damage.<br/><br/>They found one of four rear wheels had been clipped during takeoff and ordered the plane down. But video footage of the landing shows the wheel disintegrating as the plane tried to taxi down the runway.<br/><br/>The clip shows flight FA212 with smoke billowing from the damaged wheel.<br/><br/>Seconds later there was a huge bang and parts of the wheel flew off as the undercarriage collapsed sending the jet leaning sideways towards its port left wing as it ground to a halt towards the end of the footage.<br/><br/>Miraculously no one was injured in the drama, reported local media, and passengers were evacuated and offered another flight.<br/><br/>

Then you've got to get your hands on Manifestations of Faith; it’s the latest publication from the Archdiocese of Port of Spain which features 13 of their churches and chapels some which have been restored and some needing that extra TLC.<br/><br/><br/>Multimedia journalist Urvashi Tiwari Roopnarine and camerawoman Kerry Patrick sat with the team binding this book together for this story.")
_peel-p50-the-world39s-smallest-car.webp "MEASURING in at just 100cm tall - and 99cm wide - the Peel P50 is reported the world’s smallest car to ever go into production. The three-wheeled microcar was originally made from 1962 to 1965 by the Peel Engineering Company and was listed in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the smallest production car ever made, with a weight of just 59 kilograms. Of the 50 P50s ever produced, only 27 are still known to exist today. Canadian, Greg, is one of the owners of these rare cars, and he told Future Studios Cars: “The P50 came out of the Isle of Man, basically the concept was a little car that you can use in the city”. With its DKW 49cc engine, the P50 has a top speed of 37mph and 4.2 horsepower. “It’s a one-seater with one headlight - I also love how it has three wheels, the back wheel is the one that is driving it with a chain from a little moped engine,” Greg said. With its uniquely small size, the P50 is not the most practical car to use. “There’s no reverse because you have to get out of the car and go around to the reversing handle, pick up the car and turn it around then get back in,” explained Greg. Although this is undoubtedly a small car, it has a big history. Greg said: “There was a Russian freighter that came into the port of Vancouver, they used it to drive around their huge freighter on the deck but then the refrigerator broke so when they came back, they traded this car in on a refrigerator”. Today, these cars are incredibly difficult to come by and are incredibly expensive - in 2016, a P50 was sold at auction for over $176,000.")

_scorched-earth-atlantic-convoys.webp "For educational purposes<br/><br/>During World War Two, Britain was absolutely reliant on maritime trade for its survival and therefore the protection of its merchant fleet became an issue of paramount importance. <br/><br/>After June 1940, however, German U-boats began to operate in the Atlantic and appalling losses were inflicted on allied merchant shipping. <br/><br/>Arctic convoys were twice suspended in 1942 as German aircraft and submarines wrought havoc on the waves - the trip to the Russian port of Murmansk, for instance, became known as the 'Death Trip' because so few ships returned. <br/><br/>For men aboard, there was little hope of escape should a ship go down; they could expect to survive for only a few minutes in the icy waters. <br/><br/>Featuring the filmed memories of convoy veterans this is the story of one of World War Two's most pitiless theatre of operations, where men lived in constant fear of the unseen dangers of the deep. <br/><br/>The programme also uses 3D graphics and animation to show the realities of a submarine attack and the mechanics of a ships' defences. Leading maritime and military experts are also featured.")
