It happened the other day when it was blowing 45 kts plus on 34 with a sigmet for severe turbulence below 5 grand.
ATC must have witnessed the final approach and landing and landing roll. Anyone from ATC care to describe what actually happened leading up to the assault landing on 34? Was it a High/low/unstable approach/flared high/flared too late/burst all tyres on touch down/burst tyres only during landing run. Did the pilot taxi in or was the aircraft towed from the runway? Don't be coy about these things. Other crews could learn from this experience but only if someone forgets political correctness and describes how it happened...

If it had been an Australian operator incident the pundits would be rushing in to describe what they saw...
