I've experienced several bumpy landings - mostly with small ships (B737, A320) -, but never as scary as this one.
I meant I was amazed how captain recovered in a brilliant way.

To be honest with you, I wasn't scared. Fortunately or unfortunately I fly very frequently (multiple flights a week), so I am quite used and have developed an excess of confidence that things are always under control..and then I believe in faith

Did the captain make any announcements about it after landing to explain, reassure, etc?
thank you! No he didn't give any announcement. Purser just gave the standard farewells. It all seemed very quiet onboard..at least in the front. I'm sure in the back was a kind of experience!
