American Airlines jet "nearly crashed" during takeoff at JFK last week
A close call for American Airlines Flight 300 at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport now appears far worse than first reported. Sources tell CBS News the Airbus with 102 passengers and eight crew on board "nearly crashed" last week when the wing scraped the ground and hit a sign and light pole during takeoff.

Sounds like it may have been an issue with either poor planning or poor flying... Either way, getting a wing that low close to the ground is not a good thing. Glad they made it back safe.
Could wind shear have caused this incident? just wondering.
