An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-800, registration ET-ASH performing flight ET-702 from Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) to Rome Fiumicino (Italy), had completed boarding and was about to depart when the aircraft settled on its nose after the nose gear collapsed. One flight attendant received minor injuries, the aircraft received substantial damage.

An inquiry with the airline remained unanswered so far.

A ground observer reported that the aircraft bound for Rome Fiumicino had completed boarding and was about to depart the gate, when the nose gear collapsed.

bella botta
 
i commenti su avherald si concentrano sul fatto che fosse in atto il push back senza steering pin...qualcuno di FCO?

però dalla foto sembra che l'aereo sia ancora in piazzola (ma dipende dalla prospettiva) e dubito che l'assenza del pin faccia collassare tutto il carrello
 
Se fai push senza lo steering pin danneggi/distruggi il sistema dei pistoni dello sterzo appunto che non c'entrano nulla con il meccanismo di retrazione del carrello stesso , considerando che poi i due meccanismi lavorano su due assi di movimento diversi.
Perlomeno dovrebbe essere anche sul 787.
 
On Mar 8th 2016 The Aviation Herald heard, that there had been a number of gear warnings on the ground on previous flights, a gear warning occurred again and a mechanics was called to check. The mechanics attempted to recycle the gear lever as had also been done on previous occasions, however, no gear pins had been installed this time.
 
C'è anche un safety pin che impedisce la retrazione del nose gear ( come altrettanti nei main gears). Quindi uno per lo steering in by pass ed un altro anti-retraction. Inoltre, dubito che un carrello si retragga senza il consenso della landing gear lever nel cockpit...
