## Factual narrative

On September 5, 2012, an Aeromexico Boeing 737-800, registration XA-JOY, experienced heavy vibration during the landing roll and multiple ceiling panels and passenger service units fell down in the aft cabin at Benito Juárez Mexico City International Airport (MMMX), Mexico City, Mexico. Post flight examination found that most of the left winglet fractured and was recovered on the runway. There were no injuries to any of the passengers and crew members onboard and the airplane received minor damage. The investigation is being conducted by the Mexican Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC). The NTSB has assigned an Accredited Representative to assist the investigation under the provisions of ICAO Annex 13 as the Country of Manufacture and Design of the airplane.
