Apart from the crosswinds and unless you were keenly viewing the landing from the window, you could not really tell how bad it was going to be, until the very final moments over the runway. Those bumps and lifts and turns would have caused those screams inside and not the actual approach...the aircraft did not seem to be shaking violently from side to side on finals. Makes me never want to say "Another boring landing" when I touch down safely next time!
