Video shows Lufthansa plane bounce off runway at LAX in failed landing
An aviation livestreamer said the incident was the roughest landing they ever caught on their broadcast.

LOS ANGELES -- Dramatic footage shows a Lufthansa Airlines plane bounce off the runway twice in a failed landing at Los Angeles International Airport.

Airline Videos Live was streaming on YouTube Tuesday when the plane bounced twice after touch-down, and took off again after failing to land.

The commentator said the incident was the roughest landing they ever caught on their broadcast.

After the initial touch-and-go landing, the Boeing 747 circled back and was able to land smoothly on the second try.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the incident was pilot initiated.

The airline has not responded yet to a request for comment.
