What this means is that a malfunction occurs that causes the Soyuz to enter more steeply, preventing lift from slowing it down. ... The crew experienced about 8.2 g and landed about 400 km short of the expected landing site." [/quote]

Seems to be a problem with today's #ISS launch. Reports of "failure of the booster" after cabin shot showed a lot of shaking in the spacecraft. Then reports of the spacecraft spinning in orbit. Currently awaiting further info.
