Excellent video here at the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45822845 …
MCC Moscow told the ISS crew "The boys have landed." Conversation included a note that the ballistic entry was only 6 to 7 G - "I guess they didn't accelerate enough on the way up". So that will have helped a lot!pic.twitter.com/BueumKQgX5

Question for
@NASASpaceflight - if this had been the shuttle, would the TAL transatlantic landing have been the abort mode used? I recall them prepping landing sites in Europe if the shuttle couldn’t make orbit but could make it over the Atlantic.
