There is video in the link of it happening.
I found the audio from KCHS, but with one feed, edited it best I could.
Landed with no issue, and kudos to ATC and the American Flight changing runway approach/landing.

The Boeing 747-400BLCF “Dreamlifter” (reg. N718BA) experienced an incident whne it took off from Taranto-Grottaglie Airport, in Italy.
