TERRIFYING footage shows the moment a Ryanair plane appears to slam onto the runway with a thud as passengers are thrown forward, screaming in fear.
The mobile phone filming lurches sideways during the nail-biting bumpy landing at Leeds Bradford Airport, West Yorks.
Screams are heard as the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, travelling from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, appears to violently bounce onto the tarmac.
Passenger Craig, who filmed the footage, said it was a "frightening experience".
He said: "I have flown for many years, and this has had to be the first landing where I have thought the main gear was going to collapse."
Craig said passengers were thrown "from left to right" as the aircraft came down in strong winds yesterday afternoon.
A spokesman for Ryanair said: "The aircraft experienced cross winds on approach to Leeds Bradford airport and landed normally and safely."
