Narrative:
While having a very rough approach the pilots did a go around and hit the right wing on something. We had no communication with the flight deck. Then made a PA 'we had a uncontrolled approach and we're going around we'll be on the ground soon'. We felt that we should've had some communication if there was anything wrong with the plane or what happened. I felt that there was a severe lack of CRM. We as a flight attendant team planned on the worst. With no communication we were left in the dark to what was going on. I feel that better CRM from the flight deck would've helped us calm the passengers that were for a better term freaking out. I feel it was us versus them (pilots). We need to know what happened and why.
