Passenger Brian Childs says about half way into the flight he heard "huge bang" that sounded like the undercarriage had gone.
"The plane just rolled badly to the right then back again to the left and then started dipping."
"I thought this was it, we're gonna die."
Last time my undercarriage "had gone" there was no bang... I feel let down!!!

Strange how even when the engine was shut down by the pilots there was still a "huge bang".... peoples imagination must run into absolute overdrive.
