Southwest Airlines #86 landing in Chicago-Midway, IL [MDW] after a flight from Phoenix, AZ [PHZ] on Wednesday October 7, 2009. The landing hard but that is to be expected at MDW. Plane was a Boeing 737-700. Enjoy!
Good God, he SLAMMED it down! Didn't even seem to flare. Not all MDW landings are hard, check out my videos of landings at MDW. They were almost always pretty smooth. In good weather pilots can usually put it down nicely and still have enough runway to stop. Only in bad weather is it a good idea to plant it down and lay on the brakes.
That is was a hard landing! I fly into that airport on the simulator all the time from ALB, MCO, BDL...I love SWA!!! heading to LAS on them from my home airport of ALB
I guess any landing into Chicago midway is considered hard. I think it's that way because every runway is so, so short and the whole airfield is like a box right in the middle of a lot of population. I'm flying there today from Denver on Flight Simulator, hopefully I can get mine soft lol

Hey... at least you didn't hit a gas station on the other end of the runway. That qualifies as a good landing.
