A Continental Airlines Boeing 777-200ER (N78008) suffered substantial damage to its aft pressure bulkhead on 2 March when its tail was scraped on the runway during take-off from New York Newark bound for Hong Kong. According to a US National Transportation Safety Board report, "as the airplane was rotated, it lifted off the runway, momentarily settled back to the ground, and lifted off a second time". The aircraft returned immediately to Newark and no injuries were reported.
