TGIF and our plane didn't crash-land

Just want to share my experience:

Last Friday, I took the PAL's last flight from Cebu to Manila. It was scheduled to depart at 7:30 PM; but, there was delay and plane left at around 8:00 PM.

Our landing at the NAIA runway was rough. While taxiing, the plane made some decelerations and accelerations then stopped. The pilot announced to stay seated and belts fastened as we were still on the runway. The plane's steering was defective and we had to wait for a tow truck to tow the plane to the terminal. While wating for the tow truck, we noticed that the plane was surrounded by fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.

Then, we realized that we were already in danger of crash landing. Whew!!!! The passengers started to complain and speculate!

I just thanked God it's Friday and no crash landing occurred. I'm also commending the pilots for doing their best in avoiding an accident.

Buti at walang nangyaring masama sa inyo.

The PAL pilots are really one of the best pilots in the world, and yet they are very under paid.

What was the aircraft? A320 or A330?....Did they announce emergency landing procedure before the landing?

It was A320. No emergency announcement was made. We just realized about it when we noticed the emergency vehicles around the aircraft while waiting for the tow truck at the runway.
