Thanks again all. I was thinking about why it caused such anxiety in the cabin. I think the landing was a floater which meant a late touchdown but also, from the pax point of view, an undetectable touchdown. So unless they were paying attention, the first thing that most people were aware of was a bang and things flying as the brakes came on. Had they felt the jolt of wheels on runway first, then the braking might have been less alarming.

(but impressive brakes! It would be fun to experience a late RTO!)
