USAir/American A321 drags tail

Suddenly news this morning here in Charlotte, that on Saturday a USAir A321 from ATL hit some windshear near touchdown, taking out a bunch of runway lights and damaging the belly of the aircraft.

I guess about as near to crashing as you can get without crashing.

Itty bitty storm was directly over the airport, it appears, from this Flightaware screenshot of the go around.
