It was cool to watch this flight abort its landing after a hard touchdown. However, when I was filming, I didn't realize that the plane had actually touched down, hence my commentary on the "missed approach". Note the wobble on climbout. The whole sequence must have been an interesting experience for those onboard.

  • ouch...it really did slam onto the rwy...glad that you got to see it man :)

  • @SettingTheStandards - Wi get likkle exsytment up dis way every now an' den star!

  • @SettingTheStandards - It look like di plane an' di groun' was doin' "Bumpa to Fenda". ....push back on it...... :-)

  • My husband was on this plane! The problem was "wind shear" that forced the plane onto the ground very hard before the ideal time. There was no communication from the cabin about what went wrong until they were on ground (the second time, that is). Also, retracting the wheels (after the first attempt) was extremely loud so maybe they were damaged. My husband is extremely calm, but apparently other people on the plane were really freaking out ... I know I would have been ...

  • @aristotrash - Thanks for the insight. I am very happy that this ended uneventfully.

  • woops! why it fly again?

  • Wow, the descent rate before the touchdown seems to be really fast.

  • BAD QUALITY...  :p

  • Looked like Wind shear! It dropped like a brick!!!

  • This happened to me flying into Mexico City. I was right on the wing thinking just before coming in "God I have feeling this plane is going to land on one set of wheels and the opposite wing is going to crash into the ground". Sure enough that is almost what happened. The pilot got down one set of wheels down but couldn't get the other set down. The wing I was on nearly hit the ground as he tried to level the plane. He couldn't so he took off again. My heart nearly came out of my chest.

  • woooww that was nice

  • HOLY SHIT THE PLANE ALMOST STALLED

    

  • I like the part where he said Oh

  • the audio is like somebody witnessed a blowjob in progress....lol

  • would've been far better without the stupid commentary. ooohhh. STFU.
