I read an account of short-field landings putting C-130s into hot LZs but I don't remember the conflict. That pilot described it as a controlled crash. I read a lot about flying in general and never heard of any other pilot describing landing as a controlled crash, but if any other landing were to fit that description, hooking the wire would certainly be right there.
I do recall one Navy pilot describing a carrier landing as being "yanked out of the air," which is one reason why I wouldn't be a Navy pilot. That and lousy eyesight.
