On 10 Apr 2019, an American Airlines Airbus A321 jet `nearly crashed' during takeoff at JFK. The wing apparently scraped the ground and hit a sign and light pole during takeoff, bending the wing. "We were banking, uncontrolled bank 45 degrees to the left," a pilot could be heard saying on the air traffic control audio of the incident. It was evidently an `uncommanded roll to the left', with no explanation yet as to the cause. Although the plane did manage to take off, it then returned to JFK 28 minutes later.
