I was screen recording a few. Apologies on format. Very strange as it was all wheels down, can only think it wasnt going to get stopped in time.

Maybe they'd already decided to go around and committed before touch down, the touch down look pretty hairy.

Look around 6hours in
a big bird coming in Singapore a380, seems to land all wheels at same time, virtually no wing tremor or buffeting, v impressive.

Landed at Manchester this afternoon after a flight from Dusseldorf on a Flybe turboprop plane. Pretty hairy landing but hats off to the pilot for a job well done. 
Found a video of the A380 that tried to land at Manchester twice then diverted to Frankfurt (the one I mentioned earlier in thread):

Touch and go was weird looked like he was down and more comfortable than some of the others that stayed down

They may have called for a go-around very late, but once it's called you have to commit.

That is some of the best commentary ever heard 
I flew from Berlin straight into a storm, lightening strike, I swore lightening struck the wingtip, no announcement or drama! The other time, fog - could not see the wingtip which is rather disconcerting.
For the passengers on these flights, it must be a hell of experience, especially for nervous sods like me. Whenever I get twitchy on a flight, I simply remind myself of bomber crews; it must have been terrifying.
Absolute admiration to the pilots & crew in these cases. Pilots are trained to bring in a sideways, touch and go, hard touch downs etc. Still; You can imagine passengers - the panic if an overhead bursts open. The P taken with on-board carry-on's these days is scary!

Love the commentary. Would love to have been sat there with him shouting enthusiastically at the aeroplanes.

I did a turbo prop over wing trip from Denmark to Karlskrona in Sweden but hoping along the small air strips along the coast.. in this gale winds.. the plane was being thrown around in final approach.. kudos to the pilot she got us down in one piece but the plane getting to land I think as more a case of a gap in the gusts that were causing the plane to drop and climb all over the place. The stewardess looked relieved to be on the ground. Only about 5 of us in the plane making it worse!
