I am always in awe of airplanes…what a miracle they are…when things go wrong, my heart goes to the passengers…

Imagine doing this millions of times and the one time you're being filmed the pressure gets to you.

The old saying, "don't try to make a bad landing good".

Im so glad theres a community around plane watching. This is what sparks the interest for many of us normies.

I was once on a flight landing at an airport in Poland. It was like 3 am and the moment we touched the ground the pilot suddenly lifted the plane and we were back in the sky. That feeling was crazy. Turned out there was an animal on the runway. We had to turn around.

Holy moly! She didn't have her usual graceful arrival that day! Loved seeing this with Kevin on AVL!

The 747-8 is probably the last good quality airplane Boeing made, it's all sturdy and safe :)

Anyone who's taken off from LAX knows that you head out over the ocean on departure before banking if your flight is going east. It's beautiful to see as a passenger but in times of trouble...yikes! So glad they recovered this flight and all are safe.

Pilot: Let’s try all over again from the original airport we came from🙂

Luftnasa: You Fured
Ryanair:You Hired

I recall one flight where the plane bounced 5 times before we finally stayed on the ground. 😂
Prayers of thanks and then applause all around

Bad landings happen, but for a pilot that has reached the cockpit of a major airline wide body aircraft to push the nose down on that bounce is unacceptable! That had the look of the captain jumping in to assist and initiate the go around.

[Shotsmoky]

Was watching live when you caught that Kevin. Epic!

[rustyspiker]

Never thought I would see a 747 do that. I guess every one can have a bad day. Probably not the first, bounce either.

[TeslaBoy]

Very scary situation i hope everyone okay 🙏

[groovewithpassiondrumlesso]

Wow! That is a very large plane to be bouncing down the runway. I bet the student pilot and flight instructor were scared senseless.

Raw, live & direct!
Rough indeed.
