Delta Plane Wing Clipped Runway In Botched Landing

The plane, a CRJ-900 aircraft, was traveling on its regularly scheduled service from Jacksonville, Florida, to New York City, according to Delta. On air traffic control audio, the controller told the pilot, "Somebody saw some sparks from one of your wings, you guys feel anything?" The pilot responded, "We didn't, but we'll check it."

Out of Jacksonville?

The tipping is what happens when GacyAmazed gets up from their seat.

This is troubling. The second CRJ incident in what - 6 weeks? 35mph winds don't have to be a problem - it's the cross-wind vector that matters. My first question is why did they abort the landing and do a go-around after the wing was reported to have hit the ground? I'm assuming the wingtip hitting the ground was due to aircraft rotation induced by the cross-wind component to the 35mph winds and not a ridiculous hard landing - but I can't gell from the reporting.

"The flight was operated by Endeavor, the same regional carrier as the Delta plane that crashed while landing in while landing in Toronto in February. The plane in that incident was also a CRJ-900."

I think I'm not taking any Delta Endeavor CRJ flights until they get this sorted. This is looking like a pattern.

#1 can you point out where any of the changes played a factor in this?

your schtick is to pretend that the article doesn't prove what it says. You do this every plane mishap.
Maybe another ten plane mishaps and you'll get a clue.
