Interestingly, no airplane throughout history has ever landed... that is not to say that they don't hit the ground, they just were never designed to "land"... they were designed to fly, so in essence, when they land, they're performing a "systematic, controlled-crash situation"
Did you ever fly in a plane? A perfect landing is the beginning of a stall, just as the wheels touch the runway. The control is still there. The plane begins to stop flying, not crash!
Controlled crash, my burro.
If Boeing designers didn't know the plane would fly...they wouldn't have been given the go-ahead to spend millions and millions of Boeing's money to build the sucker!

Stole my thunder whitevette, no I can tell he never flew a plane, to date the only controlled crashes are Carrier landings. the others just get set down after flareout.
