Snoop Hard landing?

From 6:30 to 7:00 mins: Pax view but their response of "urggggh!" isn't the way to treat customers LoCo or not - wonder what the FDR recorded?

Big deal. I was on an Indian Airlines 737 that bounced at Poona airport.

Oh come on. There wasn't even a bounce! If the pilots made an effort to make a lovely light as a feather landing, you might have ended up sliding down emergency chutes on the grass past the threshold. A safe landing is not necessarily a soft one.

Why does this passenger believe he or she is exempt from the 'no electronic devices on while landing' rule?

That wasn't a hard landing. After a hard landing all the ladies would have been wearing fur collars.

Enjoyed the little girl chuckling during the roll-out. PF probably wasn't laughing, but that was NOT a hard landing.

What a waste of 10 seconds of my life.

Daz - go to the spotters forum (where this video belongs) and do a search for the dog noise.

I humbly suggest that you:
1 - Learn how to hold an iPhone 4
2 - Obey the instruction from the crew with regard to turning off electronic devices on landing
3 - Get a life
