The odd part is the crew didn’t even realize they’d brushed the trees. According to San Diego KGTV-10 News, the plane’s crew did not feel the trees strike the wing, but an observer on the ground saw lumber splinter and immediately notified the pilots on the radio.

Actually this would make a great commercial for MDC...if it was still around. I worked with a great group of engineers there before Boeing gobbled it up and I know they would be proud that their designs are holding up so well.
