Boeing 737 wing strike

A few years back, flying into New York. My wife just happened to be filming at the perfect time, when we got kind of crossed up while trying to land. We ended up throttling up, and going around for a second attempt. We were met on the runway by a bunch of emergency vehicles, but besides some apparent wing damage, every thing was fine.

Tower: Do you know how to land?
Pilot: No, I'll just wing it.

[rudiechinchilla]

Tower:man the gear goes touching down first
Pilot :oh I thought it was the wings

[greenigelnigel]

Captain -"Thank goodness for MCAS"
First Officer -"What's MCAS?"
Captain -"I heard about it on tv"

[partiespronto]

Delta: Nailed it!
Pilot: the landing!?
Tower: No. The runway. Please call this number

[Aviation_]

"So the 737 MAX 8 decided to turn into a 800"

[kengbrissy]

This woman would blow fear of flights out of people, she’s so calm with it

[obriantucker]

Pilot: "watch this yall, i'mma try something"

[FrequencyORD]

airline: “let’s install split scimitars.”
pilot: *”nope”*

[NicolaiLW]

The lower wingtip prevented the actual wing from taking damage... thats pretty smart

A United Boeing 737-700, registration N13716 performing flight UA-1958 from Houston Intercontinental, TX to New York La Guardia, NY (USA), was on final approach to La Guardia's runway 13 following a localizer approach runway 22 circling 13 at about 19:57L (23:57Z), when the aircraft went around from low height, tower observed a wing of the aircraft touch the runway surface. The aircraft climbed to 3000 feet and joined another approach to runway 22 circle runway 13, tower advised a runway inspection was in progress. The runway inspection reported (illegible), tower queried the aircraft whether they copied the transmission, the crew acknowledged but advised "they wanted to get this thing onto the ground" and declared emergency. The aircraft circled to runway 13 and landed without further incident. After landing tower advised the crew that the runway inspection had picked up some debris from the runway.

The FAA rated the occurrence an incident and reported on a go around the winglet struck the runway resulting in "unknown damage".

The lady filming in other scenarios:
"Ayyyy, those guys are shooting at us, and bullets are flying by.."
"Ayyyy, the patient is flat lining, i need a defibrillator.."
"Ayyyy, we've just lost 10 million in the stock market, and the clients are calling.."

I can't think of any more 😂

[Themilkmanskid.]

Sounded like she didn't mind the go around for another try instead of completing the landing. Awesome camera catch!

When a pilot learns from a youtube tutorial 😂
