considering that someone stated that the plane is off the end of the runway, it would suggest that the nosewheel is secondary to an abort at too high a speed.
I think I'll wait and see if other info turns up to suggest that the plane was indeed flyable but instead aborted resulting in the reported damage.

The a/c was flying for Lufthansa Cargo (from HKG and on it's way to FRA).
LH Cargo has been leasing this a/c as well as two other, TF-ARP and TF-ARV after LH sold them to CC in June this year.
I'm going to really miss this a/c
I had a pleasure to fly on it as a passenger in 2000 and it used to had my home town name painted on it

Don't know what all the fuss is about, to be honest. They aborted, the A/C run off the R/W. Is that a crime?
Doesn't appear anyone was hurt which is the most important and AA haven't killed anyone yet, to my knowedge. Which is more than can be said for a lot of other airlines.

AN124, good photos of a sad event.
Difficult to tell, but it looks like not all the engs were in full reverse? Time and the investigation will tell.
Max weight freighters from the ME in the summer always used to get my full attention, rotate being Vr or too few reds remaining, whichever came sooner!

not too far off the departure end of rwy 30
how is it that terrain is so rough so close to the runway ?
normally, no overrun that comes to a stop so close to the runway, results in a write off
the sheikhs should better invest in up-to-date overrun area and definetely a new runway surface would be great !

Not saying it is the case here but blatantly disregarding procedures and endangering the lives of others is in fact a CRIME!

"how is it that terrain is so rough so close to the runway ?"
Why is it that so many Runways have large obstacales, almost purposely left in place?
Our local strip (10,500ft) has a stone bank almost twenty feet high, no more than 400 feet from the end of the Runway
..... there is no reason why it has to be there!

So even the best crew on a good day can easily end up departing the end of the runway.

Mutt,
If you read my previous post you would have seen that I said that I was not referring to this specific incident nor am I going to speculate on the event.
With regards to your rather condescending post, I think you just made a very valid point! You´re better off continuing.
