Aalborg? You mean Ålborg, Denmark? Sorry, I speak foreign lol
Yeah I saw it and read about it - only a few minor injuries. The article (in Swedish so I won't post it here) mentions some other issues this aircraft has had, landing gear (this would be a good example
) and some prop sync issues...Don't know much about Q400 but always heard good things about it from pilots who flew it (Horizon)

Wouldn't you think that if you knew you had a gear problem you would try and land a little softer than that, every other video I have seen of "landing gear issues" the landings are "the softest" the pilot has ever had...ie jet blue and others. This one seems to be pretty solid and it even looked like it was in a bit of a crab on touch down....
just a thought
pretty awesome everyone got off the plane safely but man would that be scary

It looked like a normal touchdown to me; especially if you have a full boat, in a turbo-prop (all that movement when you go to idle), in gusty conditions with a possible gear problem.
I've never flown the -8; however, back in the day, I flew some stiff-legged turbo-props and it's tough to get one of those greasers that we see out of a trailing link gear.
It looks like a normal landing for a straight gear. Props to the crew for getting #1 secured, in a timely manner and getting everyone off safely; that's about all we're paid for.
Side-note to this; I can't tell if it's just the angle the video was taken from, but initially, from the video, the gear looks like it might be out of proper position.
