Passenger Video Shows Terrifying Aborted Landing On Boeing 737
A Boeing 737-200 had to abort a landing after heavily damaging its right wing. The impact was so harsh that it ripped off part of the wing and damaged a flap. The plane recovered at the last second, when it seemed that a fatal impact was imminent. Skip to minute 2:11 to see the moment of the landing. You will see the plane tilting heavily to the right, moving to the left of the runway as if it were being pushed by extreme crosswind. You can then see the bump when the wing hits the runway.

Thanx "preacher1". Note well taken.
ouch...is that wing repair gonna come out of his paycheck?
Peter, I hate to think of what could have happened if they didn't go around. The visual I'm getting is...a tipped wing making contact on the pavement and I see a mini UAL Flight 232 all over again.
By the time he was on the runway he was way out of shape - the decision should have been made to go around earlier???
