Default What did this guy hit??

Musta been a slow news day in CA yesterday. A Warrior made an emergency
landing with its left main gear hanging by the brake line. Reportedly
there was a student & instructor onboard. I'm guessing they clipped
something after rotation or were way below glidepath on landing
approach?? blind speculation mode off

The narration had me rolling my eyes - "The pilot managed to touch the
runway before the left wing collapsed" As a former aiport ops/crash
truck driver, I've seen my share of gear-up landings and (call me
jaded) they're just not a big deal if handled with a cool head. I also
understand your typical media type has little or no understanding of
aviation and the planes we fly.
