A Delta Air Lines plane hit the runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Sunday night while trying to go around for another landing, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said. The incident happened at 10:10 p.m. EDT when the left wing of the plane touched the runway.

The plane was Endeavor Air Flight 4814, flying for Delta Air Lines. The FAA said the pilot had to go around because the plane’s approach was not steady. During this move, the wing hit the runway. The FAA said it will check what caused the incident and look at the flight steps.
