Almost certainly the case, these reductions are pretty new.

Norwegian incident

There is a video of the landing but not sure about the rules on linking but if you use a well known search engine with key words Flugsnug & Norwegian you should be able to find and it is very impressive. Wheels on the left and right MLG look damaged before landing and the debris is clear to see after touchdown (photo's on the ground show the inner left MLG blown).

As for the poor passengers, still at BHX although a recovery aircraft positioned up from Gatwick arriving 21.12. They have used the Gatwick - Madrid aircraft, which was cancelled.

As an outsider it did look like the whole incident was handled well although I realise some might offer differing opinions.
