That looked rather uncomfortable.

Also, the split winglets look dumb. I don't care how efficient they are, ew.

The pilot knew he had the option to go around and try it again, right?

His boss told him if he was late one more time he'd be back at the regionals flying turboprops from the right seat.

And people wonder why the flight attendants want people to stow their electronics during landing.

I've seen more than a few wild videos from Madeira. That was a good one.

That's not an entirely snarky comment. There's a lot of truth in it.

25 years ago they had a catching net at the end of the runway... went there twice.
