Looks like an A380 landed short at Munich and tore up some of the approach lighting.

Two incidents a few days apart at MUC...and I just booked my flights to go there in 3 weeks.
Lufthansa A380 Lands Short Of Runway, Damages Lights In Munich Just Days After A 787 Overran
No passengers were injured and an investigation is underway.
The Lufthansa A380, registered D-AIML, arrived from San Francisco after an approximately 11-hour flight. During its landing on Munich's Runway 26L, the aircraft touched down short of the designated runway threshold. The early touchdown resulted in contact with runway lighting in the threshold area.
Lufthansa confirmed that the lighting installation was damaged during the landing, while the aircraft subsequently taxied to its assigned position rather than requiring an emergency evacuation.
