Well, I’ve never seen anything like that before …

A Lufthansa Boeing 787-9, registration D-ABPQ performing flight LH-450 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Los Angeles,CA (USA), was preparing for boarding of passengers at the gate, when all gear doors opened and the nose gear retracted. The aircraft fell onto its nose. A number of crew on board received injuries.

Apparently, this Dreamliner is brand new. The aircraft was delivered to Lufthansa just in January.
