Not as bad but still bad........This was basically the kind of landing I had on the 737-900 coming back from Florida on vacation very scary.....lots of turbulence too.

Holy crap!!!! Would I have wet my pants?

I just watched the video and I still wet my pants.

I don't think wet would be a proper description. Holy Moly!

Good imitations of an AIM9 Sidewinder!

Not only would I have wet my pants, I would've crapped my pants.

A landing like these would be like trying to ride a bucking bull through a china shop!! My hat is off to the pilots that are able to make these landings.

Got that right, I remember watching a special on a near diaster on a British Airways flight. One of the windows in the cockpit failed, and the captain was stuck halfway out of the aircraft. The incredible thing was, that the co-pilot made a smooth landing and saved everyone on board the plane. That takes a lot of skill and luck.

Didn't hear about that one, Vassili. When was that?

 

[Vassili Zaitzev]

Didn't hear about that one, Vassili. When was that?

It was British Airways Flight 5390, on June 10, 1990. A window pane in the cockpit was installed with a faulty/wrong screw. The pressure caused the window to blow out, leaving the captain halfway in the cockpit, and the co-pilot to land the plane himself.

Here's the link on wikipedia.
