Pretty impressed that no deaths for a crash like this one.

Among the injured was Geeta Ramsingh, 41, of Philadelphia, who said passengers had just started to applaud the touchdown "when it turned to screams," she said, pointing to bruises on her knees.
Do people applaud landings frequently? Or was there some sort of sense of impending disaster that the touchdown alleviated?
