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.

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

The pilot probably disobeyed a direct order from the Scarebus, so the aircraft
punished him.

That's a very odd comment considering Airbus has a great safety
record.

Never even flown a LazyBoy? Don't give him ideas. Maybe another
Lawnchair Larry. It did suprise me that a Frenchman would have
something negative to say about their taxpayer funded Airbus though.

Even if not French, his arrogance is often of French proportions.
