## Resource

A United Airlines Boeing 767 clipped a light pole and truck during landing at Newark on May 3rd, narrowly avoiding disaster with no injuries on board—though the plane sustained significant damage. The NTSB’s initial report revealed the first officer noted the plane was “slow and a little low,” and the captain heard a thump before touchdown. United has since issued a safety bulletin urging pilots to aim for touchdown between 1,000 and 1,500 feet on short runways and warning against “ducking under” techniques that can lead to low approaches. This incident underscores how critical precision is in those final moments—and how even seasoned crews need constant vigilance to prevent accidents.
