      Also the ATC person. Obviously an airport with heavy traffic. She stayed cool and just continued to give him altitudes and other traffic in the area. And, I'm sure she wasn't but she sounded like she was 17 years old. I have the hardest time understanding what they're saying. Presumably because I don't know the jargon which helps. Her vocal fry did nothing to make it more clear however. 😜

      I have experienced something very very similar to this in 2012, also in Frankfurt on a Lufthansa, flew from Brussel. Our plane didn't actually touch the ground but it was probably less than 15 ft from wheels to the runway. All of a sudden the plane accelerated from landing speed to take off speed right when everyone thought the plane was about to touch down. It was so unexpected and honestly pretty scary to most of the passengers by how sudden that happened. No announcement prior or after the relaunch either. Me and the stranger lady next to me ended up holding hands really tight (we didn't have a single conversation or exchange during the whole flight up until then), lol.

      @@jonasbaine3538 If you watch the video several times, you can see the body of the plane wobble up and down near the bubble. Jaun Browne says most often this often results in a major failure in the body structure. Focus on the Internet antenna on the top, you can see it wobble big time at least twice. The second bounce was much worse than the first.

    I was on an airplane to Germany some years ago and it was exactly like that.. the storm was so strong the airplane was throwned out of the lane and we went up again. I was scared to death but the second time, it was very smooth. I told the pilot, I lost all fear on that day 😊

    Do you suppose the junior pilot was practicing landing, first time around, then the captain took over?
    The amount of thrust to get her airborn again was phenomenal. Love the magnificent 747❤❤

      People at VAS Aviation's video of this said that the pilot of the first landing was in training

      Did he...? How do we know it wasn't the pilots fault that the plane smacked down like that?
