Found an interesting article on BABlog.

It's about a Soyuz re entry from the ISS.

from the picture, that soft landing looks like it might hurt just a bit

The scene of the thing just before it "touches down" (read: "slams into the ground") looks like sitting in a wine barrel with a stick or two of TNT under it; especially when you couple it with the view of what went on inside as it hit.
