A cargo plane's dramatic aborted landing was caught on camera yesterday.

The Cargolux Boeing 747-400 freighter damaged its left engine while trying to land in Luxembourg.

The plane, en-route from Dubai, bounced off the runway before climbing away to safety.

The Aviation Herald reports the plane climbed to 4000 feet before swinging back around and completing a successful landing.

An image of the plane's left engine shows scrape marks along it after the incident.

Cargolux is based in Luxembourg and operates 30 Boeing 747 aircraft.
