My normal landings are clunkers, but...

not, to date, anything this bad. From Chicago Tribune:

"A "firm landing" of a United Airlines plane Tuesday evening at O'Hare
Airport sent two people to the hospital with minor injuries, a United
spokesman said.

The individuals injured in the 8:30 p.m. landing were a passenger and
a flight attendant, spokesman Jeff Kovick said. As of Wednesday
evening, the airline did not know what caused the Airbus 320's hard
landing."

How about, the runway was higher than planned.

I'm glad to have my 15K miles in mileageplus expire soon. Untidy
strikes again:

"Flight 628 from Seattle was carrying 122 passengers and five crew
members when it partially left the runway after landing, officials
say. The plane eventually returned to the runway and was able to taxi
to its gate, albeit with a blown tire and damaged engines, said Tony
Molinaro, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration."

If it quacks like a duck and lands like a duck.......its a crash.

For me this would represent 100% of the people on board.

If the only people on your plane are one passenegr and one flight
attendant, I'd say a hard landing is almost guaranteed!!
