Wingtip touches runway

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

While landing at their destination, the crew of an Embraer 145 reported that they were having difficulty controlling their rudder. They had to continue their landing because they were very close to the ground, approximately 50ft off the ground. They made a hard landing on the left main gear. A few seconds after that, the right main gear touched down and the plane slowed down on the runway as normal.
A report by maintenance workers found that the right wingtip had scraped along the ground while landing and that repairs were necessary.
