CRJ hairy crosswind landing
CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Jet makes rough landing at RDU during high winds
Can't tell if they dragged the wing/tail. Pretty challenging weather due to a system moving through the northeast yesterday.

Low level windshear, good enough reason to reduce the flap setting and fly a faster approach.

Good point Bloggsy, to be fair to me though I was commenting on the vid as I saw it happen and made the general point.
There’s a famous vid online of WLG on a typical sporty day where a dash 8 almost bumps it’s bum thanks to the same phenomena..given a bit more energy and inertia you can mitigate the worst affects on a gusty day if you deem it sensible enough to fly the approach

I've downloaded the video and run frame by frame and it's impossible to tell, you do see a flash as the wingtip appears to strike the ground
In which case, presumably, it would not have gone unnoticed by the pilots, passengers and, subsequently the ground crew on the turnround.
Do we have any evidence that the outbound flight from RDU was delayed/cancelled? That should be relatively easy to ascertain.
