Heavy Landing At Luton

On a flight with EasyJet back in 1997 the pilot made what can only be describes as an extremely heavy landing at Luton. It was very early in the morning and a number of passenger around me looked quite alarmed as, apart from the noise, a number of overhead lockers dropped open and several items of carry-on luggage were launched down the aisle.

After slowing up, the aircraft turned off the runway and turned towards the stand and over the PA came:

- Good morning ladies gentlemen, this is Captain Smith, welcome to Luton...and if any of you were asleep...

- I bet you're not now!
