There are some very strange contradictory statements relating to this case, whilst some posts here and elsewhere have a suspicious aroma, IMHO.
  • Some cabin crew fold-down seats on some aircraft are not particularly well padded or shock-absorbent.
  • All cabin crew reportedly unfit to continue duties. Yet no passengers are reported to have officially complained.
  • The Captain, whether PF or PNF, reportedly apologised on the PA for the landing. Yet BA reportedly declared a 'normal landing'.
  • The Captain reportedly blamed the wind, yet another source reports that the wind was light and virtually constant.
  • There is a report of erratic altitude keeping during the descent. If true, why?
  • Was a heavy landing check requested?
  • Was an MOR filed?
  • Are the CAA involved? There is a report of them being contacted, so where is their acknowledgement?
Is it not about time the facts were established by the CAA and pubished? Dismissals on the grounds of 'Typical news reporting' or 'Cabin crew conspiracy' simply don't suffice.
