Ever been on a plane when the nose wheel touched first on landing?
A real heart stopper.

I was on a flight when the pilot came on the loudspeaker and yelled "Flight attendants take your seats immediately!" and the plane began rapidly diving at a very steep angle, shaking like hell the whole way. Then it leveled off and the pilot came on and said something the effect of this: 'Sorry about the drama folks, we got an alert that the cabin pressure was dropping rapidly and we needed to lower our altitude in a hurry. We'll be fine from now on.'
THAT was a ride I won't forget.

Great way to crash the airplane, the nose gear is not designed to handle those kind of stresses. I’m a wide body CPT so I know a bit about it. Improper weight and balance on that 737!

I was on a landing in ontario, ca where i think we could look down the runway from our side windows.

Never had that experience but my wife and I were on a flight out of O’Hare years ago, a stop over on our way to see family in Alberta.
The plane took off and made a slow, banking turn to the left and for a few seconds seem to just hang in the air.
My wife and I just looked at each other in concern(to say the least) but the plane reached altitude and leveled off.
Scary for a few seconds though.
