TV Anchor: "How frightened were you?"
Passenger/Witness from a/c: "Pardon?"
TV Anchor: "Was it frightening?"
Passenger/Witness from a/c: "The landing felt a bit bumpy"

I'm just a pax, guys and gals, but I've loved planes since my boyhood as a cadet on AEFs in RAF Chipmunks out of Turnhouse Aerodrome.
Today has been a great day for anyone who loves flying, albeit for all of the wrong reasons.
P.S. Ian Shoesmith is only doing his job. And the people who are sitting on their hands ignoring him are doing their's also.
Peace to you all.
