Since when did applauding when your plane lands become a thing?

[{L}]

I was flying back home from Turkey a couple of weeks ago, we had just landed when all these friends surrounding me started clapping and cheering like we'd survived a perilous thunderstorm. White people...

it's never happened with me before. I haven't been on a plane in a few years though

[Ningyou]

They were applauding because they haven't been shot down or disappeared over sea

White people...

if it's a smooth landing then I'll clap for mad skills

[Doughboy]

celebrate the fact that the pilot just flew a huge piece of metal through the air for a while and survived

Actually most of the time if it's a smooth landing the pilot did a less than good job because it was delayed. Usually most heavies are supposed to slam on the ground at -500ft/m.
