IIRC the event in which WOW (air/ground) switches got bashed was an IB A330 at Quito, perhaps three years ago. Multiple security camera snips showed reversers & spoilers failing to deploy, thus an overrun.

edit:
Although I had some difficulty with the usual accident documentation sites, I finally found it (an A340, not A330):

Nov 9, 2007 ... An Airbus A340-642 passenger plane, registered EC-JOH, sustained substantial damage in a landing accident at Quito-Mariscal Sucre Airport (UIO), Ecuador.
