Factual narrative
PLT HAD EXECUTED SUCCESSFUL CROSSWIND LANDING AND WAS DECELERATING ON ROLL-OUT WHEN A GUST OF WIND CAUSED THE ACFT TO SWERVE INTO THE WIND. DIRECTIONAL CONTROL COULD NOT BE REGAINED WITH RUDDER SO PLT ELECTED TO ATTEMPT GO-AROUND. ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE IN GROUND EFFECT, STALLED, AND THE LEFT WING DROPPED, STRIKING AN AIRPORT FENCE.
