A320 written off after pilot-induced wingtip strike on takeoff
Don't know if this final report from a couple of months ago has been mentioned before. An American Airlines A320 at JFK, April 2019. Aircraft understoodf to have been scrapped due irreparable damage to wing structure - left tip bent approx 6ft higher than right.

Accident: American A321 at New York on Apr 10th 2019, wingtip strike and collision with runway sign during departure (avherald.com)
There's an interesting recreation of it here.The first "cover image" shows the wrong wing in contact wiht the ground though. I have no idea how respected the creator "mentour" is but he seems well informed.
