17 Jul Terrifying Footage Shows Plane Landing So Hard Passengers Feared ‘Landing Gear Would Snap’

While most people understand the sense of fear one can get in the seconds before a plane lands, nobody understands it more than the passengers of this Ryanair flight that landed violently on the tarmac of Leeds Bradford Airport in England.

A video posted by passenger Craig Cullinan documents the horrifying moments before and after the plane’s landing, with the camera being jolted forward as passengers can be heard screaming in the background. The Boeing 737-800 aircraft was traveling from Fuerteventura in the Canaray Islands, and was filled with passengers coming home from vacation. Unfortunately for them, their flight was not the relaxing end to their trip that they intended.

In his caption of the video, Cullinan says, “I have flown for many years, and this has had to be the first landing where I have thought the main gear was going to collapse. Frightening experience.” The force with which the plane landed on the tarmac is palpable in the video, which shows Cullinan’s phone video being thrust forward upon impact, followed by violent shaking as the pilot tried to regain control.
