Unsafe Travels of the Day: An Airphil Express flight from Manila overshot the runway by nearly 200 feet upon landing in Kalibo earlier this week.

Luckily, no one was hurt, but smoke emitted from the landing gear had to be doused with a retardant substance before deplaning could be allowed.

A passenger aboard the plane happened to capture the rough landing on camera, as well as the subsequent emergency response (below).

Also, is it just me, or should that heads up on the seat belts have come much sooner than just before touchdown?
