A video of a scratch on the lower part of a Chinese plane has been released, raising suspicions of a landing accident.

According to Chinese media such as Xiao Xiang Morning News, a photo of the bottom of a Boeing 787-9 aircraft belonging to China Southern Airlines, which left Shanghai and arrived in Guangzhou on the 21st, was posted online.

Accordingly, it is suspected that the rear of the fuselage first touched the runway during landing.



According to the 21st Century Business Herald, a local media outlet, passengers at the time felt "The first feeling was as hard as a bridge touching the concrete floor, and then weightless." he insisted.

Some in the airline industry said "It is suspected that the rear of the fuselage was attracted to the runway during landing.

"

Occasionally, this can occur when the aircraft fuselage's elevation or descent angle is adjusted incorrectly during the takeoff or landing phase.

Generally, it is likely to occur during landing, the industry explained, but it may occur when the fuselage bounces slightly after landing and then hits the runway again.



Most of them are likely caused by pilot error. This could cause serious damage to the aircraft, cost millions of dollars in repairs and loss of revenue, and could lead to serious situations.

The airport or airline's position on the accident has not been reported.
