British Airways Dreamliner 787 has been seen with its nose on the ground at Heathrow Airport this morning
Aircraft confirmed to have suffered a collapse to its front landing gear while having cargo loaded its stand
Flight operator said plane was transporting freight and had no passengers on board at the time
A source told MailOnline that flight crew were however on board and raised possibility of a safety issue

A British Airways plane has suffered a nose gear collapse on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport - seriously injuring a crew member - after an engineer 'failed to lock it out'.

Shocking photos show the Dreamliner 787-8 with its nose on the ground and broken landing gear while a stair car stands by.

Airport emergency crews rushed to the scene with the extent of the damage to the plane not yet known. Medics assessed two staff with one in need of hospital treatment.
