I actually had a landing similar to that once. Granted, it wasn't as bad, and I didn't have 120 passengers on board, but it was bad. Just as I was touching down, a wind gust from out of nowhere damn near blew me over. The wing didn't hit the ground, but it was probably about 6 inches from it.

Instinct took over, and I got it straightened out, but even taxiing was brutal. I eventually put power back in and took off again. It took me about 20 minutes before I was calm enough to attempt another landing. There is truth behind the saying "scared the shit out of me".
