Wow, that sure was a hard landing, I am glad that I was not on that flight.

I hadn't seen that one before, and it certainly is interesting!    :shock:

I do have to wonder though, if most of those kinds of videos aren't records of some sort of flight testing. I mean, for the thousands upon thousands of landings that take place every day, what are the chances of a camera being there, rolling, when one guy really prangs it?

If I'm not mistaken, I think that is a test video from McDonnell Douglas.

Make sure to look at some of their other aviation videos as well.

Yep, seen the same video credited to a DC-9 flight test of a prototype doing high descent rate touchdowns. The descent rate was on purpose. The tail coming off was a design issue and apparently required a fix.
