Incident: Lufthansa B744 at Frankfurt on Aug 22nd 2015, rejected takeoff after uncommanded yaw
A Lufthansa Boeing 747-400, registration D-ABVS performing flight LH-710 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Tokyo Narita (Japan),
was accelerating for takeoff from Frankfurt's runway 07C when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (about 150 knots
over ground).
Several observers on the ground watching the aftermath reported D-ABVS was stopped with almost all main tyres deflated on taxiway N4 in the passage between hangars near the airport's fire station and straight in front of terminal 1, emergency services were spraying the wheels.
Passengers disembarked onto the taixway and were bussed to the terminal.
The aircraft remained in that position for at least 5 hours while the tyres/wheels were being replaced on the taxiway.
