Crash course in home aviation. . .

There was a T.V. show (i think) titled: 'Boy meets World'.
Somewhere i have heard the phrase, 'Boy meets girl'.
Well. . . here is 'Girl meets door jam':
Today Sissy thought it would be neat to experiment with low level aviation. Sadly she used the hall as her runway and after powering up the engines she prematurely retracted her landing gear before reaching optimal take off speed. The lack of sufficient thrust caused her to fail to clear a nearby structure. . . the solid wooden door jam.
Early reports clearly state that there were no fatalities in the incident and that while the pilot did well to recover the craft, the pilot is being placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation and psychological examination to determine the possibility of post traumatic stress disorder. If medically cleared the pilot will be assigned to a Critical Reaction And Survival Habits training instructed by famed pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.
The FAA is still investigating but advises that they may never know the cause of the incident due to a malfunction in the craft's "black box" flight recorder in which all radio transmissions where distorted into a loud, "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" sound.
Despite the severity of the crash the airline reports only minor damage and in a statement made to the Associated Press reports that they are confident that the craft can be repaired and will be back in service soon.
