un-Rockin' Wheels in Slo-Mo (A330)
Unlike the 757 and 767 main landing gear's four-wheeled bogies which rock back and forth on touchdown (see other video), the Airbus A330 seems to 'sit' on the rear pair of wheels on each bogie for a long time, sometimes with a little side-to-side rocking.

This video is a mix of slow motion and normal speed landing shots of Air Transat and China Southern A330's at Birmingham Airport BHX.
