I heard this one story and I don't know if it was an urban legend or not, but a pilot had made a really hard landing and during departation of the plane no one said a word to him about it until and 80’sh year old woman asked if they were they shot down on the way in :-)

I was on a really hard one back in 1988 or and I wont blame it on the pilot it was just one of those things. We were coming into Denver and in that last 50’ or so a huge gust of wind picked the airplane up and then the bottom dropped out. I was like %^$## here it comes! I was seated over the center wing box area and as hard as we hit (KWHAM!!) I knew there was bound to be a few fuel leaks to come out of that later, and maybe some broken fasteners to be found during HMV open up.

Oh I forgot, that was a 727-200 (stretch) airplane we were on.
