Passengers in the seat rows adjacent to the propellers were moved to alternative seats prior to landing and there were enough empty seats elsewhere on this flight to allow this. What is the procedure if the aircraft is full? Do you leave passengers exposed to the risk of propeller parts penetrating the cabin or do you try to strap three passengers across some pairs of seats in other parts of the cabin?

Was moving the passengers away from these seat rows a part of the normal checklist for main gear problems or was this something that the crew (very wisely) decided to do under their own initiative?
