A Boeing 747-8 of German flag air carrier Lufthansa flying from Frankfurt am Main to Chicago on Thursday had to turn around over the Atlantic Ocean due to a strange smell in the flight deck, Sputnik quoted German daily Bild report.
“Lufthansa flight LH430 from Frankfurt to Chicago returned to Frankfurt today as a precautionary measure. The reason for this was an unidentifiable smell of electrics in the cockpit. The Boeing 747-8 landed normally in Frankfurt, and all 320 passengers and 19 crew members exited the plane normally. The plane is currently being examined by technicians, the cause of the smell is still unclear,“ a Lufthansa spokesperson told the newspaper.

Authorities said no one was injured in the incident.
