A Boeing passenger jet with 287 people on board strikes its tail during takeoff after the aircraft brakes and runs off a runway at Munich airport, according to reports. The incident is described as a “near disaster.” No details are provided in the available summaries about injuries, the aircraft’s condition after the event, or subsequent flight operations.
The accounts agree on the broad sequence: the aircraft is carrying 287 passengers and departing from Munich, it experiences an unexpected braking/runoff during the takeoff roll, and the tail contacts the ground. While the Daily Mail emphasizes the severity of the event with the “near disaster” framing, the information provided here does not include official statements, investigation findings, or technical explanations. Further reporting from aviation authorities would be needed to clarify causes such as runway conditions, pilot inputs, system warnings, or mechanical issues.
