I know that the narration is annoying, but I had to share because this would definately wake me up. Some of you try to act hard core when it comes to not being afraid during flying situations. Many of you act like any irregular operation is "no big deal". But I bet you'd grab you arm rest if the wind tossed you around like it does this aircraft. Enjoy. Go here for the link... NW 757 landing at SEA...

When you have been in the industry a while and weathered (pardon the pun) many irregular operations, it does become "no big deal". If this is your first time, then it is a "big deal". Everything is relative to the person involved.
I am not hard core, but it takes A LOT to phase me, honestly, that landing would not have. It would, however, be something to talk about.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Ask any pilot.

Alright tough guy... I don't care who you are, that was definitely something to be concerned about... From the looks of it, as he's climbing away, the right gear is jiggling, seeming that it touched down. Regardless, that pilot earned his full pay that flight!

I experienced a landing like this at SCQ back in August 2004 in an Air Europa 737-800. Extremely high winds, low clouds, and heavy rain was more or less the cause. The 737-800 came right to the end of the runway but we were blown all over the place on approach and on touchdown right down till the end of the runway.

Sometimes you have to take a persons background in to account when dealing with situations. I have been a flight attendant for as long as you have been alive (Damn!, I am 42. Am I old that old, already?). I have had more than my share of rough landings. You get used to it. Really. Was it a wild ride, yes. Concerned, no. But again:

The pilot did a phenomonal job. Just as would be expected.

That must be REALLY scary for the passengers. I'm far from an expert but shouldn't the pilot have initiated a go-around earlier rather than waiting till the wheels were bouncing all over the runway?

I dont care how long you have been a flight attendant. A landing like that IS something to be concerned about. If it was bad enough that the pilot coudn't safely land the plane and had to go around it was probably something YOU should have been concerned about. I hope you were doing your silent review. It amazes me how some f/a's become so complacent. Scared, maybe not. Concerned, you should have been. Just my .02

Thank you for your concern. I always do my 30 second review (what CO calls it). 100% of the time, every take off, every landing. Always expect and plan for the unexpected.

Like some of the statements above, the crew did a good job. Ive had some wild flights and landings myself. Not trying to act jaded, but Im sure I would have grabbed the armrest on that one myself. However when you're in a jumpseat the perspective is a bit different than when your a pax. But yes it definately gives you something to talk about when the trip is over.

I have to go check my shorts after that landing.
Those pilots earned their check with that landing. It appears that they were close to losing that plane? I could be wrong but my guess is they would have lost the machine if they did not power back up and go around.

Oh please, save the school marm lecture!
Quoting Queso (Reply 15): Gotta love the 757 in a situation like that. When the pilot says "JUMP!", it doesn't stop to ask how high!
one of the best things about the 757, its rocket power!

I flew into Seattle that very morning from Anchorage at about 6:10 am. The captain had informed us that there was windshear, but he did not specify low level windshear. As we were about 600 feet from touchdown, the plane dropped, everyone started screaming. I thought I was going to die. The pilot continued the approach while the plane was rocking back and forth. I remember thinking gosh, he can't possibly land right now as we were about 100 feet from touchdown. He finally landed and the whole cabin started clapping. Our turbulence was way worse than that 757, we were in a 737-800.

I guess none of you have flown in or out of WLG - that film clip wouldn't have made the news there - in fact I don't think any of the WLG locals would have bothered with a second glance at that approach - just routine ops

Yeah...the wind kind of sucks here right now. Incidently, it also prevented me from taking off from DEN in FS9 when it caused my power to go out for a brief moment!
Next Flight: TBA!
25 WMUPilot: You guys keep getting hit with those those horrible Pacific storms. Those pilots sure are earning their wings the past week!
26 CO7e7: I bet you the pilots were sweating bullets! Great job though!
27 AirplaneBoy: I worked a flight into SEA Monday afternoon and it was a ROUGH one. The captain mentioned that landing conditions were borderline, and that we were cl
28 Stjuard: Well, there is a video of TAP A321, much more dramatic than this. This NW landing although bumpy is not really scary.
29 BoeingOnFinal: Yeah, and it's a good thing that the pilots have some "fear" in them. Makes them sharpen up and do a good job, instead of having a "I don't care" att
30 Cumulus: This video been tossed about before here, but always a good watch. These boys did a good job with a heavy crosswind, and that's some "kick" with the r
32 AirTran717: I was a flight attendant right up until a year ago. But I too, have had my share of rough landings. As far as the go-around... looks like to me that
33 EWRCabincrew: Especially the vid of that last one. Damn near, if not scraped, the tail.
34 Pilotdude09: So true, ive seen some great footage from a fellow spotter of Saabs and Beech 1900d's getting thrashed around as well as the 737 in and out of Wellin
35 Corsair1107: i bet there were some queasy folks getting off that flight...
36 Dc1030guy: What are you talking about??? That was anything but a good landing! First off, the approach wasn't stabilized. Second, it looks like they never put a

43 707lvr: Last night the SEA tower controller mentioned that it looked like only 757's were getting down. Everybody else was going around, some several times. O
44 PH-TVH: Every landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Every landing wich lets you use the plane again is a great landing.
45 ZRHnerd: Amazingly, this vidoe even made it into German Television primetime news. Good job by the crew, exactly what they were trained for.
46 Threepoint: WLG's legendary (in NZ) winds are a little-known phenomenon elsewhere. Somewhere on the web lurks a video (taken from a vantage point on a hill abeam

50 Joffie: This even made it onto the news in Australia ..... Crazy landing.
51 September11: Indeed -- I was amazed when I saw the clip. I would have gone crazy if I had videotaped it. Great thread title -- it was definitely like a kite!
52 Luniew: Yes they did, just look at the trees at the end, TV............
53 Aviacentre: I was at Northwest's SOC (system operations center) today and this video was the highlight of discussion over there among the SOC guys.
54 Silver1SWA: Honestly, how can you tell? Do you know what your plane looked like from the outside on the ground? I only say this because people would be surprised
55 Pilotdude09: Heres a good one someone above was talking about at Wellington.
