Just to be a bit pedantic, Bbbananas, the aircraft did not “crash land”. It was forced to make an emergency landing - something quite different.
Crash landing definition: “To land (an aircraft), under circumstances in which a normal landing is impossible, in such a way that damage to the aircraft is unavoidable”
Whilst I agree that it must have been extremely unsettling for all the passengers, I’ve been on a military aircraft that crash-landed causing the undercarriage to collapse and believe me it is considerably more traumatic (especially as we knew well before landing that it was likely to happen).
The aircraft at Heathrow made an almost normal landing (albeit on reduced power) and no damage to the aircraft was caused by the landing. This aircraft crash landed at Heathrow in January 2008:

Yes, TWR, I’ve been in an aircraft struck by lightning whilst in the air. Not very pleasant but nowhere near as scary as the tremendous thrill I had when lucky enough to be taken for an air experience flight in an RAF English Electric Lightning trainer in 1967. They were known as the “frightening Lightning” and I know why !!!
