For the optimal passenger experience, they ought to be respected.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

As the old saying goes, that wasn’t a landing–that was an arrival !
PS: Better have maint check out the gear..
More like shot down.
Just be grateful the airline didn’t add a fee for extra landings.
(wide eyed stare)
Clearly, this was all the fault of some passenger who refused to turn off his portable electronic device.
(HCDAW) WTF Paddles…
that looked painful, poor airplane!
One landing per takeoff, please. I’ve been sitting in row 25 for a landing like that. Good thing I always bring an extra pair of clean underwear when I go on a trip.
Any one you can walk away from?
Add “and the next guy gets to use it too!”
When I saw that- the tune to “Sweet Georgia Brown” went through my head..dribbling the aircraft as you go..
BAC 784′s aren’t kown for their good x-wind capabilities from what I hear.
4-engine Douglases weren’t either,btw. X-inds at short, high
places were interesting..
Durango Colorado for instance…
OOPS 748′s -dyslexics of the world -UNTIE!
-sign over my old bosses desk.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to London. Please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo taxies to the gate. Your baggage and clean underwear can be found at carrousel two.”
Oh my. Straight to the hanger bay for that one. Take some for a bit of NDI and to swing the gear.
*take some time
xwind … yeppir, certainly a factor. Whuddabout that sink rate over the threshold??!!?!??
Not familiar with the landing configuration for this species – are the speed brakes normally hanging in the breeze through the landing?
No crab kickout … almost tipped over to the FO side … did not see much control input there … pure blind luck that this is on a website instead of being displayed on the evening news with “fatal tragedy” in the headline?
Anyone have the rest of the story? Pax complaints, maint results … anything?
Regards,
OldSchool
The sink rate is way too high. I’d bet he was falling too fast to even go around. I’d certainly check the gear before launching in that AC again.
Agree, QM. The rate of descent had to be above 500 fpm. C-130 assault landing territory…
If you roll it back and forth at the 7 second mark, and go back and forth, Im pretty sure nothing will fit between terra firma and egressi avis. Making bologna.
Reminds me of films of the F-14 drop tests at Bethpage. Of course, in those tests we needed high speed cameras to reveal how much the wings flexed at limit load – and the A/C was dropped from a travelling crane.
Maybe he called for taking the short field arresting wire and forgot he didn’t have a hook? Or didn’t seen there wasn’t a wire, for that matter.
The way he planted that poor plane – water that spot on the runway and in a few weeks little airplanes will grow. Glad everyone is still walking.

Had a very similar experience also in a BAE 146 coming into London City airport last summer…made me wish I had paid the extra couple of bucks for a flight to Heathrow.
Ahem, there are no crosswind limits, only max demonstrated crosswinds.
It wasn’t the pilots fault. It wasn’t the plane’s fault. It was the asphalt.
I don’t know if anyone else took the time to read the comments at the YouTube page, but his is just too funny:
Dang it that was a BAE 146 not a HS 784 which is a good TURBOPROP twin. I am sooo sorry..
No coffee this AM…
He did keep the outboard engines and wingtips off the ground. Just sayin…
Luck.
Ryanair would’ve made a mint – they charge victims to use the john. No wait, no one would’ve made it, before OR after. Next batch of passengers would have been given rubber gloves, buckets and scrubbing brushes. Ah to be sure to be sure.
