The title of this thread is a little misleading

Maybe something like United flight almost crashes in the ocean or something like that, the way it's worded now makes it sound like another incident like bump gate.

Apparently the wing almost hit the runway.
Well how would they​ know anyways? the wing is close to the ground and if he had to tilt the plane it would've had to be even closer.
I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.

Such an emergency they circled for an hour to burn fuel rather than dump it..

This latest United mishap comes weeks after officials violently dragged a man from an overbooked flight – causing mass outrage.

This wasn't a "mishap" - this was a situation out of the pilot's control which was handled appropriately. I do fund it pretty funny that they couldn't end the article without taking a shot at United for the overbooking incident, though.

United will never learn. They gave the people on the plane a $10 voucher to get dinner
