China Eastern Turbulent Sydney Landing
A China Eastern aircraft landed in Sydney today in an apparent turbulent landing.
The aircraft landed safely thankfully but some passengers required hospital treatment.
Other aircraft landed around the same time without suffering incidents.
It seems some passengers may not have been wearing seatbelts at the time of the incident.

After the seatbelt sign has been left on for entire 10+ hour flight, passengers tend to take it for granted. Chinese FA's will not challenge J class passengers so this type of event is inevitable.
Totally unsurprising.
Extreme airline complaints: Chinese passengers attack flight crews, open plane doors
Witnessed plenty of darwin award contenders getting up and walking around while the sign is on.

I think you'll find that the shaky landing referred to the state of the passengers on landing - there is a video circulating locally of a female pax who is best described as a gibbering wreck.

Landing just yesterday in Honkers, we heard one of our FAs through the cockpit door yelling at someone to sit down.....turns out someone thought a few seconds before the retard call was the perfect time to stretch their legs

My company is very pro talking to pax before departure/cruise about the usual weather, arr times etc...I've never heard anything from any pilots on at least half dozen Chinese flight.

First off, according to the airline, the ac was in cruise.
Perhaps it is best to leave off all of the comments regarding Chinese passengers.
Aussie Airlines that enforce the seatbelt sign? I am certain, having extensive experience flying around Oz, that there are very, very few.
Flights around China and other countries are much different, ever seen a pax have a goat as carryon? well it happens (and it okay on many flights)
Regarding the pax, ever been on a Ramadan flight?
Sorry, but it IS the crew job to educate and enforce, which in reality, I see very little of. When was the last time when the SB sign came on, the cabin crew went around and observed/enforced the SB requirement?

This thread is all about:
Nothing more - and most certainly not about alleged airline practices in China.
If you've all finished discussing the China Eastern incident in Sydney, I am happy to close the thread as the B... S..., willie wagging and sound of instant expert keyboards is getting a tad too deep!!

While I'm sure that's a good description of the state of the pax when they disembarked, the reference in the article linked by the OP said
"Seven people have been injured when a plane hit turbulence while landing at Sydney's International Airport. Five passengers and two crew members were taken to hospital after China Eastern flight MU777 from China encountered a shaky landing about 2.45pm on Tuesday. Three suffered neck injuries, while the others suffered a lacerated jaw, minor head wound, wrist injury and back pain."
which is a ludicrous way to describe something that had actually happened at 20,000 feet, 20 minutes previously..
