There is something i wanted to ask about this incident, too:
If the wing was only still 0.5 feet (or meters) from the surface, how should it have lasted 5 more seconds (anyone wrote this) until impact ? Did the captain try to correct the course during rotation or after take off ? I can't believe that within 5 seconds a A320 shouldn't have made enough height to avoid touching the ground with a wing ? Who can say somnething about this point ?
Interestingly this incident isn't discussed on the german pilots site at the moment.
Makes me wonder .... so it's all right ?
cheers
