The wing of a Delta Airlines plane hit the runway at LaGuardia Airport during an unsteady landing on Sunday night.
The packed flight was heading home from Jacksonville, Fla., when the pilot attempted a go-around following an “unstable approach” around 10:10 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration, News.Az reports, citing The New York Post.
The maneuver is considered routine where the pilot pauses the landing approach and pulls the plane back up to an altitude and configuration fit for another landing approach.
During the go-around, the left wing of the plane struck the runway.
All 80 people on board safely disembarked from the aircraft, which remained on the ground at LaGuardia through Monday. No injuries were reported.
