Kudos to the guy filming that with such steady hands, not sure I would be that calm.
You'd be surprised. When watching movies and such they make planes look chaotic when they are going down.
So back in 2007 we went on a team build in Durban. On the way back at about 8pm a massive storm broke over JHB international and we got stuck in it with the plane being thrown around like a pebble in a river. I was on the wing and I watched the wing flap up and down, the plane buckled and bounced to the extent that we all saw the fuselage flex enough that the door to the cockpit open, lots of alarms going off and that was the only noise.
He got us out that after the plane dropped, not descend literally just fell down as if it had no lift, the wings were bending. But he got us out, the door had since been closed, an announcement came out that we had to divert back to Durban as JHB had flooded.
We got back to Durban on fumes and a massive storm had blown over there. But we had to land there was no other way.
Brace was announced so we did and the plane came down hard, lots of emergency lights, lots of sirens, the plane was skidding on the runway, engines were in reverse thrusters, brakes applied but the plane just was speeding down the runway, I looked out the window and saw the emergency vehicles racing along side. The plane eventually stopped with a massive jolt and we were not quite straight.
They drove the emergency vehicles around the plane, hooked it up and towed us to the terminal.
They were already checking everything when we got out the plane, there were some missing panels on the exterior as well cause we could see the plane out the window.
After the storms blew over I got a business class flight home at midnight, there was still some hectic turbulence but it was mild, the lady next to me was a little shaky, she asked me why I was so calm.
I looked at her and said did you see the plane they removed off the runway with all the emergency vehicles, she was like yes. I smiled and said I was on that plane.
Throughout the whole experience there was no screaming, no praying, there was just a lot of noise from the plane. My team lead was playing his psp, I was like why aren't you nervous. His response, if it's my time there's not a lot I could do right and I want to finish this.
Man I was nervous on my next couple of flights afterwards.
