Lufthansa Airbus A340-600, registration D-AIHY performing flight LH-458
from Munich (Germany) to San Francisco,CA (USA), performed a seemingly
normal landing on San Francisco's runway 28L even though the aircraft
had to go around on its first approach to runway 28R due to being too
high for the approach.
A post flight inspection however revealed damage to the fan blades of engine #2 (inner left) obviously due to a bird strike.
