CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Federal aviation investigators are collecting data as they search for why an American Airlines jet struck a wing on the runway as it landed at a North Carolina airport.
A report posted Tuesday on the Federal Aviation Administration's Web site said the incident caused substantial damage to the MD82 aircraft as American Airlines Flight 1402 arrived in Charlotte from Dallas on Sunday night.
None of the 110 people aboard were injured. FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the incident wasn't reported until about four hours later.
National Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman Bridget Serchak said investigators were not traveling to Charlotte, but were to receive flight data and recorders from the jet.
