Looks like they designed the 777 to land sideways! That must be some strong landing gear. I think that 747 near the end scraped an engine nacelle. I'd hate to be the one who had to clean off 500 soiled passenger seats.

Many years ago, I had the good (?) fortune to be sitting in the first seat behind the cockpit (which was separated by just a curtain which the pilots had neglected to pull shut, so I could look straight out the front) on a turboprop jet heading into Charlottesville, VA and had a landing just like some of these--heading straight down the runway, but with the nose off centerline by probably 15-20 degrees until a second or two before the back wheels hit. Quite exciting!

We scraped a wing tip at SEATAC in 88 on a 747 in bad weather and people were laughing and cheering,one guy said it was a "E" ride!

But as any pilot will tell you landing a jet or plane is just a controlled crash at best!
