Well done champ! Text book stuff. Nobody injured, plane will more than likely fly again, and calmly and casually exiting the airstairs like you're popping out to grab a coffee.
On face value yep, looks like a job well done. Wouldn't mind chatting to the pilot and hearing their story!
Anyone got the ATC recordings?
Anyone know if the gear was down but not locked, or was it stuck up in the well? Can't tell from the video. Just intrigued, nothing more nothing less.

Note the exit of the passengers; Whatever happened to the old tradition of 'Women and Children first!'
As they say in the classics: That'll buff out...
This reminds me of the complete wheels up landing of VH-URU that happened at YPAD on the 27th of September 2008. It was being flown by a friend of mine.

And he was unfortunate enough to have a huge audience, who had turned up to see the Flying Rats A380 on its proving flight ( which was running late) staging through Adelaide
After the event in URU, said pilot reportedly took all his passengers to his home for a BBQ and beers

True story Marauder (all of it) and he kept the fireys away and DF he did a bloody good job (including a job on the media too lol).
