Perhaps we should ask when will the riff raff learn to "turn off all
electronic devices for landing" (or isn't a mobile phone with camera an
electronic device?)

Obviously, the use of this electronic device negatively influenced the landing, which is why one is supposed to have them off until the PA announcement is made that they can be turned back on.

I wasn't implying that it was a factor in *this* accident (neither was the guy before me who prompted my comment). It was just a general safety comment. In general, we can do quite well without cameras and phones flying around the cabin during accidents, and we can brace ourselves more easily and more quickly in an accident when required to do so without one hand holding onto these devices.
