I generally never post links to things like this but this video clip is
an exception... I think it's a 737, and its landing gear proved to be
much stouter than I'd ever have expected it to be. Yikes!

Folks, it was a joke. It was a computer enhanced video of an airliner
that supposedly was carrying a rugby team that was landing somewhere
in Europe. The commentary had to do with "welcoming" them. The idea
was the airline was from the host country and the pilot was giving the
team a hard time so that they'd play poorly. Again, it was computer
enhanced and did not happen in reality, as should be obvious to all.

This got lots of commentary several years ago, I'm surprised on one
has mentioned it.
