I wonder why they had to crash land.

I feel they ran out of petrol.

They did a good job in not killing or seriously injuring anyone.

"We were taxiing along ready to take off and certainly out of the window I could see a plane coming in to land.

"I'm not quite sure if the under carriage was missing or not, but certainly what we saw was the plane coming down.

"There were some sparks as the undercarriage or the bottom of the plane actually touched the runway - certainly a huge amount of smoke coming up from that.

"Certainly there is a lot of activity and lots of vehicles with flashing lights all around the plane."

certainly the person who wrote this certainly overused the word certainly.

A lot of airlines do that. But on the news they're saying it was an emergency landing.

I thought you were on it, so like the milktray man I jumped into the plane just before take off and messed around with the wheels, then jumped out before it landed.
