Narrative:United Airlines Boeing 747 flight UA-870 returned to Sydney and made a safe landing for "maintenance checks".
The 747 had just rotated off Sydney's runway 34L at 14:58L (04:58Z), when the crew of another aircraft on an adjacent taxiway reported the Boeing had touched the runway surface with the tail between intersection with taxiway Kilo and intersection with runway 07/25. The crew of the United 747 climbed to 8000 feet dumping fuel over the Tasman Sea and returned to Sydney's runway 34L for a safe landing about 80 minutes after departure. The runway was closed for a short period of time to check for debris.
