If there was a heavy landing, it would be a skill/judgement issue for the drivers - certainly not rare, but not common either - and could happen on any aircraft on any given day. Certainly not likely to "almost kill the 787" as a type.
Have you even thought about this statement in the context of this thread?
Heavy landing a driver problem? - most likely a fair part of it.
Not rare - agree
Not common - agree
Could happen on any aircraft on any given day - agree
If cracks have occurred on one of the first 787 heavy landings that they can't work out how to fix (remember heavy landings are not that rare) I reckon it would be pretty bad news for that aircraft. The whole point being that aircraft should be designed to easily withstand a heavy landing. The last thing I was using as a throw away line.
