American Eagle Flight 5786, operated by Mesa Airlines, was landing at McAllen Miller International Airport (MFE) Tuesday when one of the aircraft’s wings hit the runway. Evidence comes by way of a plane spotter testing out his new camera near the incident. No injuries were reported among those aboard the Bombardier CRJ-900, and the pilot was able to bounce back for a safe landing.

Mesa Airlines released the following statement following the incident:

Due to concerns about possible damage incurred on landing, the aircraft was removed from service for inspection. Passengers exited the aircraft normally and there were no reported injuries. Mesa Airlines is conducting an investigation.
