Mr Savage... Every aircraft impacts with the ground upon landing. It's a necessary consequence of having departed terra firma and it's one of the most stressful events for an aircraft. The degree of that stress varies, and from time to time, it becomes "a hard landing". Aircraft are, obviously and by necessity, designed to fly... They become awkward beasts on the ground. Stresses of all sorts take their toll... Aircraft designers have to balance the need to absorb those awkward stresses with the need to remain light enough to be useful. They could do more, including building them to withstand the same landing you experienced without damage, but the resulting weight increases would result in an aircraft with much less useful load carrying capability, and would cost you far more to fly on.
Hard landings, from which the aircraft cannot fly away without some work, or at least some inspection, are not as uncommon as you appear to believe.
The term "crash", if it were ever to be applied, would certainly not apply to an incident so mild as this one. Talk to some of the relatives of those no longer living who actually experienced something deserving the term.
You and your fellow passengers were delivered safely to the terminal by that aircraft. You all then walked off the airplane and evidently some began to hear music by Dire Straits... "Money for Nothing"
