On the other hand, a landing that bad in a 737 would probably make smoke on the first touchdown, and a spray of sparks on the next couple, as it would almost certainly blow a couple of tires. > For a real bad landing have a look at > > http://www.crazyaviation.com/movies/MD-80_hard_landing_1.mpg Wow, no flare at all, and about 60 FPS descent. Clearly blew a couple tires on that one, especially the nosewheel. Might have been more excitement later, as the hydraulic systems might have run out of fluid in short order.
